Dear Dr, Lederberg

A year ago, after meeting you
in Washington, I was brassy enough to write
and ask you if you'd look over a book I am
doing for Doubleday on the ethical issues
posed by the new biology, especially gen-
etics and new birth technologies.

You said you would -- for which I
am grateful.

Now I've finished four chapters

and wovld like to send them to you in xerog.
It is the chanter "Some Facts" that I need
your expert eye on especially, but if i an

to ask you to write a brief introduction

for it, however noncommittal as to the merits
of the book, you ought to see all of it
first.

If your kindness is still running
T'll ship the material off to you.

I don't want it to be a nuisance
or a burden. On the other hand I have a
hunch that some it will please you, most of
it interest you. But I don't want to be wrong
in technical matters,

If you reply Yes again, I'll get
in the mail quickly. And the rest in a month
or two.

I won't say “happy"new year, but
wish you a good ones
