Dear Dr. Lederberg:

Your letter of September 28 chased me around Africa
and I have just settled to correspondence after my return.

T have had some correspondence with the University
of California Press and have followed their suggestion that I
appeal to the National Science Foundation. I have just written
for their forms and will know more about it when they arrive.

Your idea of publishing a condensation is something
else again. Have you discussed this with Dr. Steinhaus? In
the meantime, I will keep you informed of anything I do from this
end. I am very sorry that my absence and reluctance to corres-
pond while traveling might have appeared to indicate my loss of
interest.

Sincerely yours,

fate Learn’
