March 30, 1°60 Or. Howard 1. Adler Biology Division Cak Ridge National Laboratory Post Office Box Y Dak Ridge, Tennessee Dear Dr. Adler: We have sent you an Lp? derivative of Hfr-1 (Cavalli) and a multiple marker F stock. Each of the suger markers of the latter should be checked for purity, and reisolation may be required. Hifr-l is the one we have worked out best. The best source of well mapped out, lambda-free Hfr stocks should be in Dr. Francois Jacob's collection at the Pasteur Institute, as he has published a series of complete maps and has tested zygotic induction in each of them. Sincerely yours, Esther M. Lederberg
