Dear Professor Golding:

That the remarks you quoted should "sound like a threat" has
puzzled me for some time. I thought to wait to reply until I had
assembled a number of writings that might answer some of your, latent
questions, but this still might not clear up my puzzlement. So 1
write you now, with no polemical intention, to ask what you per-
ceived in that quotation as a threat?

I would be happy to pursue this communication; inter alia, I am
sure you simply have not read a good deal that I had written in an
affort to secure the confidence of the lay public. But meanwhile,
it will be a service to me to understand how I miglit have been
(mis )perceived.

Yours sincerely,

Joshua Lederberg
Professor of Genetics

P.S. I was interested in your discussion @454-5; may I have a
reprint of your Monist article?
