Dear Dr. Lederberg:

In reply to your letter of August 30,
we are sorry to learn that you must give up abstracting
of the Annales de l'Institut Pasteur. This is one of
the most difficult journals to cover, and for that
reason we are particularly appreciative of the contribution
yuu save made during these past years. J hope you will
express our thanks, also, to Dr. E. M. Lederberg, for
her part in the work.

 

We are pleased to have the names of several
editors of the Annales, and will follow your su;:gestion
of attempting to secure anthor abstracts. We are convinced
that for the majority of English language and for many
foreign language journals the editor-solicited author
abstracts are most satisfactory, and we have been increasing
our efforts to enlist such collaboration from as many
journal editors as possible.

Again, our thanks to you for your help
in the past and best wishes to you in your present work.

Sincerely yours,

Phyllis V. Parkins, Editor
