Dear Professor Lederberg,

It was kind of you to reoly with such consideration
to Mr. Day's enquiry about the possibility of working at
Madison, and I am hastening to send you and Professor Keitt
the letter of recommendation which you ask for.

I think that you would find Day a very accevtable
member of a research team and a good worker. I am anxious
for him to have the wider exoerience which he would get from
the unique opportunity that Madison offers with the double
attraction of your department and Professor Keitt'’s.

For the letter of recommendation I cannot do better
than the enclosed copy of my confidential letter sent to the
Fellowship Selection Committee.

I shall oe extremely grateful for any held you can
give Day.

With kind regards,

Yours sincerely,

 

Prof. J. Lederberg,
Department of Genetics,
University of Wisconsin,
Madison 6,

United States of America.
