Dear Miss McNary:

Mr. A. A. Leath has asked me to write a reference forshpport of

recente matting eS

his application for summer egployment. I am very happy to recommend
him to you. He worked in my laboratory for several months as a general
technical assistant. I found him thoroughly reliable, conscientious
in his work, and to hold a deep sense of responsibility. His physical
adeptness belies his artistic training. I was very sorry to lose him
as an assistant when his other obligations required that he leave our
emloy, and would be pleased to have him back at any time.

I must. add that "A.A." has ingratiated himself with everyone whom
he has met here, and beg to communicate my own hope that he can find a

situation that will help him to advance his interests.

Yours sincerely,

‘ Joshua Lederberg:
Associate Profegsor of Genetics —
