Dear Emerson!

Thank you for your complimentary remarks, I think that you have
most everything published on FE. coli genetics and methods.

You may not yet have heard that I will have an appointment at
Berkeley in the Department of Bacterlology, for the Summer Seasion IT.
I expect to give a course in microbial genetiss. I hope that you
will not, by chance or design, pick this particular time to be
away from the campus, as I am looking forward, very earnestly, to
meeting with you ani seeing some of your extraoctdinary work on
Allomyces and Blastocladiella.

Sincerely,

Joshua Lederberg
Assistant Professor of Genetécs
