Dear Doctor Lederberg?

During the reading necessary for the preparation of
a review on bacterial resistance to antibiotics I was
rudely awakened to the fact that I was ignorant of the
field of bacterial genetics. In attempting to correct this
condition, I have come across your review "Problems in
Microbial Genetics “in Heredity.’ It would de a big help to
me if yau could spare a reprint of this article, ae our
library does not subscribe to Heredity and inter~library
loans are on a short time basis.

Please be assured of my gratitude for your kindness.
Sincerely ,

JHB-m1 John Hays Bailey
