Dear Dr. Lederberg:

Due to a recent severe cut in salary funds, I am being
released here, effective August 31, 1954. However, our

chairman is kind enough to say I may leave whenever I find
a job.

Would you let me know of vacancies as you harren to hear
of them? I should greatly arrreciate it, as our local grare-
vine ig slow, inefficient, and not to be trusted.

Very PSelel— Yours,

 Stndaeton
Auwiotent Yrofessor of Botany
