Dear Dr. Lederbergs

Many thanks for the group of reprints which you recently forwarded
to me, JI think you have a done a remarkably fine piece of work in throwing
light on the very tangled problem of bacterial genetics. From what I can see,
there appear to be several mechanisms by which genetic exchange may be brought
about among microorganisms, JI suppose much depends uvon species and upon the
circumstances under which the experiments are done, As you know, the field
is one in which I have long been interested, but into which I have not been
able to datas deeply as I might have wished,

With cordial regards,
Yours very sincerely,

Martin Frobisher, Head,
