Dear dosh,

Von-N. & Wi. arrived safely. I hadn't missed it too
much, what with the continual diversions of Oak Ridge life.

As for lodging at Woods Hole. I can offer only a few
weak suggestions. First, I understand that Homer Smith
(not the H. S.,but the business manager of MBL) keeps a
list Of rentable accomodations including houses. Second,
there are three habitues who might be renting this surmer.
These are James Miller of kmory U.. Atlanta, who rents for
one month each suymer according to rumor; Arthur Colwin of
Queens College. N.Y., who has a house but will be in Japan
this year; Elvin Kabat of P.&S., who will probably occuoy
his/Moude, but perhaps not for the entire summer, The
Colwins are already in Japan, but I don't know exactly where
excent that it is the same place as Katsuma Dan. ‘Ye wil?
probably be in W.H. durine August.

AS you can see, the recent publication is essential y
independent of the ms. which I still intend to return to Genetics,
Naturally I have some miseivings about it. sthnce you are the
only one of numerous readers who thinks it is any good (possibly
except F.J.4.). Anyway I intend to send it to Genetics along
with another ms. dealing with methodolorical details, crosses
involving lethals, ete. Strangely enough, the question of how
the lethals behave in crosses seems to be the matter of ereatest
interest; whereas it is to my mind an almost completely barren
approach at present.

tam looking forward avidly to seeing you and Iisther at
the April symposium,
Barbee joins me in sending fond regards,
Sincerely,

:
Kian
