Dear Doctor Lederberg:

My husband and I wish to add our ccongratula-
tions on vour accommlishments to the many thst
have no doubt already reeched you.

I was one cf your laboratory assistants in
the scoring and summer of 1951 at the University
of Wisconsin. My futvre husband washed your
@lasevere that summer, too. Though I'd hed but
2 few bacteriology courses at that time, I remem-
ber how excited I was over your 'phage exoeriments
with E. coli. When we read of your receiving the
Nobel Prize as a result of these experiments, we
were not really surprised, but tremendously
pleased for you and your wife.

My husband is now a meteorologist at the
Weather Bureau here. I received ty B.S. from
San Diego State College and then a Clinical Lab-
oratory Technologist license, but am no longer
working as have two small children.

I enjoyed the January 2 Time magazine article.
Your voresent project in exobiology sounds fasci-
nating. I am looking forward to someday reading
the conclusions from your spacial probings.

My husband and I wish you céntinued success
and greater achievements in the future.

Yours very truly,

Eoin de Bot
