Dear Doctor Lederberg:

I enclose a copy of an article I have written which relates to
panspermia and interplanetary contamination. I would be most grateful if
you should feel disposed to read and criticise the article since if it appears
to stand up sufficiently I would hope to publish it. I also plan to send it to
Dr. Richard Tousey for his criticism on the astronomical aspects of the
article which I hope will not prove to be too amateurish.

Yours sincerely,
Tol. Hotehe
