Dear Doctor Lederberg:

Your paper has been accepted and will be scheduled for the May
issue of the Journal.

The May issue will be volume 61, but of course it is impossible
to know about the exact pages until after vage proof has been
received. Page proof for the May issue will probably not be sent
by the publishers until the latter part of April. Although I
will edit the Journal through volume 61, ending with the June
issue, Dr. Porter, who takes over as editor at the beginning

of volume 62,will have to begin acting on new manuscripts around
April 1. Whether the publishers will send page proof to me or

to Dr. Porter after the shift has been made in the editorial
office, I do not know. It may ve that Dr. Porter will wish to
take everything under his wing when he has to get busy in earnest

around the first of April.
Sincerely —n
Bra Sz
