  <dc:title>Letter from Barbara McClintock to Marcus M. Rhoades</dc:title>

  <dc:description>Third in a series of letters McClintock rushed off to Rhoades in March of 1950.  In them, McClintock developed a broadbased theory of the genetic control of development.  The letters represent McClintock&apos;s extremely excited state: they are difficult to follow and included many addenda, amendments, and margin notes. Her thinking on this matter resulted in an article later that year in the &quot;Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences&quot; that further marked her preoccupation with the fundamental theoretical and philosophical problems of genetics.</dc:description>
