Dear Bruce—
At long last, the ms. ednclosed, and just in time as we're leaving for a
holiday in a day or two, and this would have been the last chance to get it
into a 1956 Genetics. (Next year the @iitorship moves to Texas, which would have been
mich less convenient too for adjusting last minute details.)

The ideas ami content are all quite old, though I have managed to get in
som recent reviews. I hope you like it; if not, let me hear your comment soon
enough that I can take account of it in galley.

I'm sorry I don't have a proper copy of Fifgure 2; I hope you can get some
idea of it from the worksheet. I hope you don't throw away any of this fe terial ,
just in case I need it back in an emergency.

I've gone over your text again, and all I mve to say about it 41s in 6.

The only thing that would keep us apart is style of presentation, and there
de gustibus.... Have you heard of Ozeki's recent stuff (from Deamerec! lab?)
He has what likes lke linear residues from a variety of auxétrophy transductions:
small colonies on a near-minimal medium which supposedly give at most one similar
small oolony on replating. As he should have some linked markers, he may be able

to test whether the residue is an exogenote (or direct replica thereof).
