Dear Sonneborn:

As you have possibly heard, I am here in Princeton,
as according to my original plan, because Zirkle'ts pwoject
of getting me to work with him at Chicago is still in the
air, due to my nationality.

Manuscripts Department, Lilly Library
Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana

I am writing in order to find out whether you know
of any position suitable for an Italian girl, a zoologist,
who got an M.S. degree at Smith College in 1941, then started
working toward a Ph.D. at Harvard, and had to suspend a
few months ago because of economic conditions. If you happen
to know or hear of any instructorship in Some college
or universtty, please let me Know.

I am myself working a little disorderiy, due to the
uncertitude of the future. I have not yet heard about
my appointment #0r next year; however, I think this is due
to Cleland'ts disease. In spare time, I am reading more
about evolution and natural selection, and improving my
very weak biological background.

 

I gave the article on bacteri&l mutations to Rhoades
for Genetics. McClung has a copy of it, and if you have
time to take a look at it I shall be very pleased to know #
your criticisms.

I hope it is not as hot in Bloomington as it is here.
Princeton wheather is very damp, but the town is beautiful,
and near the great city.
