UNIVERSITY OF LONDON eo Department of Bacteriology, POSTGRADUATE MEDICAL SCHOOL ‘ OF LONDON Siren LONDON DUCANE ROAD . SHEpherds Banh neo (4 lines) LONDON, W.12 6th.October,1950. Dear Dr.Cavalli, ° I am making some headway with my investigation into the question of recombination in Bact.coli Kl2 but,just at the moment,I am held up because I have no threonine. If you have any to spare I would be very grateful if you could let me have about two grams to be going on with. ‘I have placed an order for this amino-acid ‘but, by the time the stuff arrives I expect a month or so will have elapsed which I do mot want to lose. When I get my own supply I will at once return the amount you have lent me - that is,of course,if you can. As soon as I get any definite results which I consider of any value I will let you know about them, Yours sincerely, Vell PND ¥ (Dr William Hayes)
