Dear Mr. Aronson:

I am shocked to notice that it has been almost ten months since your
letter of November 14 and I do not remember having directly replied to
it.

I am still interested in the possibility of editing a selection of

Haldane's essays feeling that it is a very pit&able shame that they are
no longer in print.

Do you think there is a practical possibility of abtaining rights for
their reissue? I am sending a check list of the probable sources from
which I would make the kind of selection referred to in your letter and
te does seem to have traveled amoug a number of publishers. While you
think about this perhaps I ought to write to his widow, Helen Spurway
and see whether she hag any strong feelings on the subject.

I am about to conclude an agreement with a trade publisher, probably
Doubleday, to issue an annotated collection of my Washington Post articles

up to date. I do not, however, see any conflict whatever between these
two enterprises.

I am enclosing a very short selection of epigrame that I have extracted
for a chapter in Dronamragu's Memorial book

Sincerely yours,

Joshua Lederberg
