OF TUMOR BIOLOGY KAROLINSKA INSTITUTET . r STOCKHOLM 60 Stockholm, May 5, 1961 Professor Joshua Lederberg Department of Genetics Stanford University Medical Center Palo Alto, Calif, USA Dear Joshua: Malmgren is writing you today a letter concerning Bertani. We are very anxious to keep him here and this does not appear to be impossible from his point of view. We are doing our best now to secure the support of the Govern- ment. I just wanted to let you know, in support of Malmgren’s letter, that it is extremely important and urgent to submit all papers by May 20. I should be most grateful if you would write a statement regarding Bertani’s qualifica- tions for a professorship. With warmest greetings, Yours as ever, An. George Klein GK/AL
