Dear Dr.Lederberg,

I would appreciate it if you
would let me know if my apvltication for an
assistantship from last year is still good for
the Fall of '51 or if it will be necessary for
me to apply again. If possible, I would like
to make one change, i.e. on second thought, I
would prefer a research assistantship to a
teaching one. If necessary, I will take the
latter though.

T am elso writing to the graduate
school for regular application blanks as I have
never applied to the school itself for admission.

There is one more favor I
would like to ask of you. I would greatly
appreciate any available reprints, especially
those releting to any linkage data.

I believe Bernie Davis told you
that I am now at Carnegie working for Dr.Demerec.
Dr.Demerec is not working with K-12, but I am
doing some work of my own in my spare time and

hence the request for reprints.

Sincerely yours, £42 Cather,
