Dear Professor Lederberg,

I have now securde a passage and am due to arrive in New York
on the 29th, August, This will enable me to spend some little time in
New York and New Haven before coming on to Madison, I should think
that I will arrive somewhere about the 10th or llth September if this
would be convenient, I will let you have more definite details of
this after my arrival ‘in America,

I have visited Dr Joyce Wright and obtained from her farther
representative O55B5 strains and also some high titre H sera ( 2,6,7 & 12
These she is ending to me care of you at the University, they would
probably arrive after your return from vacation but before my arrival.

It would, however, probably be just as well if they could be unpacked

and the sera refrigerated at 4°C and the cultures tested for viability.

My own collection of cultures and some further sera I will have sent

off from Colindale under a similar arrangement and these should also I

think be treated in a like fashion, Are there any further materials

you would like me to obtain? oo:

I feel that we have both been. misunderstanding each other a little,

1 certainly did not intend te give the impression that I was coming merely |

 
  

sbecause ofa. ‘sense of obligatioi oF debt, This would not, I feel, provide |
“a fruitfal basis. ‘fer. my work un
express my thanks for your’ var
However, one. does not wish to belabour this point. 3

r you, on the other hand I did wish to
a kind offices on my behalf, As you said

Since last writing. I: nave seen both Dr. Spicer and Dr. Anderson,

| thoy! both apoires me to send you their kind ‘regards,

_ I-trust that you and Mrs, Lederberg. are having. a. “pleasant

 

“yabation. Tam disoon leave at present but -am. rathe busy completing.
‘P{nal. ‘arrakgements, “1 am very much looking ferward’.to my stay in Madison
