Dear Demerect

If you will write to G. H. Coons, Principal Pathologist,
Sugar Plant Investigations, U. S. Department of Agriculture,
Beltsville, Maryland, he will send you a copy of the article by
Present which was translated and mimeographed by that office.

I az sorry you waited so long to let me know about Miss

Lively, for cur graduate student assistantships have all been assigned
for next year. While there is soms possibility of a vacancy arising,
XY should think that Miss Lively would rather work in the Bacteriology
Department and I, therefore, suggest that you contact Luria about her,
If she does wish to get into Zoology instead, she should by all means
loss no tine in filing an application for an assistantship. She can
obtain an application blank from Dr. T. W, Torrey, Chairman, Depart
nent of Zoolozy, Biolosy Hall 44.

As you probably Imow, the Genetics! Soclety of Britain is
celebrating 4ts 100th meeting end 30th anniversary on June 32. 1
have been asked to come ovar and give them a short talk. It is a
general sort of affair and Ponnett will open with a talk on the early
days of genetics, There will be one other talk and then mine which Tf
presume, by implication, should be about the last days of genetics.

I know that you are very familiar with sources of funds for travel and
wonder whether you can advise me as to where I could apply for a grant
to cover at least part of my travelling expenses. The British Society
will contribute something, but as I shall have to fly, it naturally
won't begin to cover the bill, I'd be grateful for any suggestions
you can make. i

Cordially,

Tt, M. Sonneborn
