Dear Roger:

“ti 3, vec AG
Under separate cover, I am forwa panguerirt by Dr.
Boris Rotman, now of Santiago, Chile, ony ion of enzymatic
activity in the intact cell". Dr. Rotman aia not know that I was

in Australia, and his sending the ms to Madison, its forwarding
here, and the time it took me to get around to looking it over
have already imposed a delay of a good many weeks.

I hope that Dr. Rotman will be given the opportunity of making
revisions on the basis of criticisms from the Jourml's reviewers,
and from myself as well. He authorized me to make the minor correc-
tions that appear on the ms. being sent to you directly.

After review, the ms. should be sent to Dr. Rotman at the
‘present address’ given thereon. As to proof, he authorizes me
to read and correct it in his place, but I hope it will be feasible
again to refer directly to him.

' If the condition of the ms. occasions any trouble, please refer
it to the Genetics Dept. Secy. in Madison (Mrs. Bette Rehovetz)
who will lock after the retyping. I do not believe this will be
necessary; it may depend how wkk well the ms. survives the trip.

In my mpt own opinion, the contribution is an excellent one,
though a bit awkwardly stated in places. However, I believe he
(and the Journal) should have the benefit of review by a detached
referee.

Esther and I will have left Melbourne by the time you receive
this, and will be gadually wending our way home via India and
Burope. Phe deptl. office in Madison will continue to route
my correspondence (preferably as aerograms which can be forwarded
directly.) We should be home in just about one month from now.

Y Hpigyacerely,

pshus Lederberg
