Dear Mr. Lederberg:

I wish to thank you for the privilege of talkin: with
you at Bard Hall on December 29th and for permission to bring
with me your note: A Model for Neoplastic Growth on the basis
of somatic mutation. I am returning the manuscript herewith.

We have received no inquiry from the Dean's Office
regarding the proposed fellowship. I trust this means your
request for elective credit for the period svent with Doctor
Tatum has been granted.

You will be informed of the final action of our
Board of Managers concerning the fellowship as soon as the
meeting in the latter part of February has taken place.
Sincerely yours,

Nea do

R. G. Meader
