Dear Helen:

Hfr paper to Genetics, with only a few insignificant corrections.

he Is now the editor). ! asked Dr. Perkins to deal with you directly
In any further correspondence on the paper, though of course | will be
glad to answer any questions. We will place a separate reprint order
for our departmental requirements.

It ts a very well presented paper ~ | wish the students here generally
wrote as precisely.

Life Is too busy <= and apologies again for this delay~-- but quite
exciting, as you know from Gan.
