Dear Boris:

I am sorry} to hear of Raquel's continued misfortune, but it may be
better if it can be brought to a head and terminated. I certainly will
so what I can to help you look for a position in NY. To do tyis, can
you send ms several copies of a curriculum vitae and bibliography that
I could send with the letters. It would also be helpful to have a few sets

of your published papers; if Sol has them, perhaps you could ask him to
send ms then.

There would be no harm in duplication on this, but we should have some
idea of who is writing where. I will send you a list of the people that I
enquire of. I thought immediately of Bernie Davis, Francis Ryan, Hotchkiss.
Ochoa, Chargaff, Hershey{. I imagine one factor my be the flexibility in
your plans: will you be free to accept an appointment say for one year? In
general for the people you know personally it would be better for you to

write directly. Let me know what you do; I will wait your reply before I start

anything myself.

You certainly might aw well look for genetic effects of dna. I don't really

know what markers you want, but will send you an S¥ strain. Will you have time
to do anything about this before you leave? I don't know whether I have an ST
Cat+. You should be able to get an S’ mitant with a couple of platings: it
somtimes takes us two or three.

Thanks for the check. I did not know whether to expegt 211 the commissions,
but assume you have straightened this out withb your partners. I con't know
anything at all about the N.Y. State order: perhaps you sould ask Mann.

I am sorryp tp have forgotten about the note. I am out of copies now, but
will send it with some reprings very soon.

With our best wishes and honesful sympathies to Raquel,

Sincerely .
