Dear Dr. Lederberg,

Fhis will acknowledge with tiinks te reprint of
your Nohel Prize lecture which you were kind enoug> to send

me. i appreciate your courtesy.

I must say that I was highly flattered by vour
remarks about my hook. Of course comnlimentary rem orks
about ones writing ore always gratifuing, butpren toe
remark comes from aman in your position tt surely thrills
to the core. J will treasure your note.

In vassing, let me sav that I am very proud of
the fact thut in the last two years two products of the
New York City high schools have reached Nobel Prize stature
in the field of genetics- you and Arthur Kornberg. The
latter is a graduate of Abraham Lincoln H.S., the school
at which I am chatrman. Of course he was gradusted before
I got there, so I never got to meet him. But I am holding
out hig” hopes for some of my other students of my dcys at

The Bronx H. S. of Science.
