‘a temporary position to tide you over until you could get

Dear Tatum:
I have a line on two jobs that might interest you. .

The first one is bith Dr. G. ¥. Beadle who has been at
Harvard during the past year and will be at Stanford next
year. He wants a biochemist to work on hormone-like substances
that are concerned with eye pigments in Drosophila and also on
eye pigments themselves. The position would pay about $2000.00
and is for one year. If good progress can be made he thinks that
further support could be obtained. The position is entirely
research. I hqye sent him a personnel sheet about you and I. have
Just had a reply saying that he is mich interested in you and is
writing to you giving further details. He asked me for information
about your address, etc. Your mother gave me this information.

The second position is at Iowa State College. This work is
to be on butter cultures and will pay $2000.00. Dr. Hemmer is
very anxious to get someone well trained in chemistry "baceuse
the chemical studies contemplated will not be easy", He does not
say whether the position is permanent but I essume that it is.

I know nothing more about the chemical studies that he mentions
but I would not be surprised if coe with growth factors.
This field is certainly getting BB+ “To me this field certainly
looks more desirable than the Stanford one. I shall write

Prof. Hammer enclosing a personnel sheet and do all I can to land
it for you. , The only question in my mind is if Dr. Beadle should
cable you an frould decide before hearing from Hemmer.
