Dear Dr. Lederberg:

In reply to your letter of December 8th, I may say that I sent all
the manuscripts for the Volume on "Sex in Microorganisms" to Washington
on October 13th except one which did not reach me until two weeks later.

I did not receive any word from the A. A. A. S. until recently when a
letter from Dr. Meyerhoff stated that the Executive Committee had ac-
cepted the Volume subject to the approval of a referee, who had not yet
submitted a report. Dr. Meyerhoff did not anticipate an unfavorable
report. Mr. John Bencke, who has recently joined the administrative

staff of the A. A. A. S. will have charge of the publication arrangements.
I am awaiting some word from hime

It is inconceivable that proofs will not be made available to
authors. It may be that when I hear from Mr. Bencke, I can persuade
him to let you have your manuscript back long enough to make the changes
you indicated in your letter. I shall try to arrange for this when I
have an opportunity.

Very sincerely yours,
D. He Wenrich
