Dear Professor Lederberg:

You may remember that about a year ago we went bof Sa
together to an open-air theater in Wisconsin, Yie Veg atnep
discussed at that occasion an article on ageing writ-
ten by a colleague of yours in St. Louis. Perhaps ah gg |

it may remind you of the article if I say that it
contained the statement that ageing does not set in
as long as the cells multiply vigorously and the
organism growse As a result, the article said, fish
do not age because they do not stop growinge

I would very much appreciate if you could tell
me who the writer of that article is and in which
journal it may have appeared. I would like to read
it again myself and I also have a friend who is
greatly interested in the problem.

Yours yy wr.
