Phone : SLOane 4277 Lister Institute, Chelsea Bridge Road, London, S.W.1. 16th June, 1955. Dear Dr. Lederberg, Last summer I sent you a collection of dried cultures of special Salmonella strains, The cultures were dispatched in three packages sent by surface mail and the safe arrival of one of these was acknowledged by Dr. Bernstein in a letter dated August 3, 1954. I hope the two other packages and my letter dated July 13, 1954, have also reached you safely, Referring to my letter of June 29, 1954, I am sending now 6 x 5 = 30 ampoules of dried cultures. These are the cultures of those strains that were not yet ready last year, namely : The five strains whose NCTC numbers are entered in the enclosed List by hand; and strain Watson (NCTC No. 838.) which was to be replaced. I hope the present parcel will reach you safely. With kind regards, Yours. sincerely, VW. &- Dr. Joshua Lederberg, | Department of Genetics, University of Wisconsin, MADISON 6, Wisconsin, U.S.A.
