Dear Dr. Lederberg:

You undoubtedly are familiar with The Botanical Review
and the position which it occupies in current botanical literature
by providing critical reviews of recent contributions on particular
topics. In continuing this service, we invite you to contribute a
review upon the physiological genetics of lower plants.

You are free to expand or restrict the subject and to
formulate the presise title. On the basis of our experience in pub-
lishizg reviews, we are enclosing a list of suggestions, sent to all
prospective contributors, which we would urge you to observe as far
as will be compatible with treatment of the assigned topic.

in the event that it will not be possible for you to favor
us in this respect, which we sincerely hope will not be the case, kindly
give us the names and addresses of two or three persons who might be
in & position to undertake preparation of the suggested article.

Hoping to receive a favorable reply from you, we remain,

Very truly yours,
ehf.l. THE BOTANID AL REVIEY
