Letter from Joshua Lederberg to "Beets" [George W. Beadle]
Letter from Joshua Lederberg to "Beets" [George W. Beadle]
In the early 1970s, Lederberg worked diligently to dispel what he believed was the "myth" that Avery's work on the "transforming principle" was not widely appreciated by scientists when it first appeared in the mid-1940s. In this letter, Lederberg asked Beadle if he could supply him with any correspondence sent to him from either Francis or Lederberg in the period immediately following Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty's 1944 article.
