Dear Dr, Lederberg:

I am writing to you in the hope that you will
do me the favor and complete the enclosed form for the Yale Gradu=
ate School, I am applying there to do my PhD. work with Dr. Bunting
on Serratia phage and since the department there is practically
your alma mater too, I thought that a letter from you may be of
great value to me,

The job here, unfortunately, carries very little
original work with itself, but the remuneration is better than average,

I have managed to save enough now to be able to go back for more study-
ing.

Donald Gordon, another worker here, wishes to be
remembered to you.

Many thanks in advance.
Sincerely yours,
