Dear Mr. Flanagan

Thank you for yogr comments on my article (Genetic Transduction), and
for the time you mst have spent with it. I appreciate your offer to discuss
the art of popular writing [for which I make no professions] and hope I can
take you up on it some time. Many of my friends have agreed with you, that
it was too difficult for the Scientific American, and I suppose you and they
mist be right. Having aimed at your audience, I may have been helped to reach
another atratum, if that is e fair allusion-- at any rate after some revision,
the article went to the American Scientist, where it should reach the general
sclentific readers I am most concerned about. My viaits to New York are infre-
guent and usually hurried, but I will try to arrange 2 meeting sometime.

Yours sincerely,

Joshua Lederbarg
