Dear Dr. Lederberg:

We are interested in obtaining some flagellated, non-
motile strains of bacteria such as the strain of
Salmonella sandiego and the 3, 15:eh strain reported by
Bruner and Edwards in 1946. A letter to Dr. Bruner
elicited the information that he no longer had these
strains and he referred us to Dr. Edwards. Dr. Edwards
has also lost them but suggested that you might possibly
have them. If you should have cultures of these flagel-
lated, nonmotile strains, we would very much appreciate
receiving transplants.

Sincerely yours,

Deus 4) 2 Bar 1t 7
