Dear Dr Lederberg,

Thank you for your very interesting letter. I think you

are most certainly right in that the earth accretes quantities

of N in the form of meteoritic material, but as you point out
the quantities are probably low. I enclose an account of

further work in which you might be interested and will send on

ATW

a reprint of the letter to Nature when they arrive from England.

Yours sincerely,

AT Wiki

A.T.Wilson
