Dear Dr. Lederberg:

Thank you for your good letter of the 2nd resardine the article for Physio-
logical Reviews. TI em wel! pleesed both with your enalysis and your accent-
ance.

As to deadline, I shall ask the nuslishing office to schedule your reriew
as late as possible in 1952. This would mean that the manuscript need not
be submitted until March or nerhans even July--which is well beyond your

ovm deadline. You will hear direct from the oft'ices as to the scheduiine.

I am no more interestec than are vou in a review article that merely anasses

a great body of information. An analytical, thoughtful, critically speculetive
article is exactly what is desired, vy us no less than you.

The title you sugcest "Genetics and the Cell Theory" is entirely acceptable,
and I am certxin you will prevare for Physiological Reviews an article of
which we wilt all be proud.

Cordiv ily,

R. W. Gerard
