H AD Dowd s ee oe THE CHESTER BEATTY RESEARCH INSTITUTE, aoe THE ROYAL CANCER HOSPITAL, FULHAM ROAD, LONDON, S.W.3. 3lst January 1949. Dear Dr. Lederberg, I have read with much interest the recent abstracts of your work referred to in Genetics, 1948, 33, 617, and take the liberty of sending a reprint of a very ancient paper on secondary colony formation, in the hope it may be of interest. Although I have not as yet finally decided, it seems at the moment of writing I may come over for the meeting of the American Cancer Society and the National Cancer Institute to be held at Memphis late in February. If you are to be present, I should very much like the opportunity of seeing you. With kind regards, Very sincerely yours, Bartha liNduy ee Dr. J. Lederberg, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin, U.S.A.
