OFFICE OF THE PROVOST November 15, 1952.

Dr. Joshua Lederberg
Department of Genetics
University of Wisconsin
Madison, Wisconsin

Dear Dr. Lederberg:

I am looking for a geneticist to fill a
vacancy on our teaching staff. We want to find
someone who is available by the beginning of the
fall semester in 1953 (although we would very gladly
make an appointment as of February 1, 1953 if by
some lucky chance the right person was available at
that time).

The University of Connecticut has for many
years been outstanding in the field of genetics,
having included at one time or another on its staff
such men as Albert F, Blakeslee, Edmund W. Sinnott,
Leslie G, Dunn, Walter Landauer, etc, We are
anxious to secure an able teacher who has also
established a reputation for research and scholarly
publication,

The exact rank and salary which we offer
will depend on the candidate's training and experience,
but we intend, when the time comes, to make an offer
which will interest an outstanding scientist.

Your name has been suggested to me as one
whom we should consider, If you think you might be
interested I wish you would send me a short outline
of your training and experience, a bibliography of
your publications, and the names of three or four
people who are acquainted with your professional work
to whom I might write as reference.

Very truly yours,

QWAE. thn
