Dear Hayes,

Thank you for your offer of cor-ecting our proofs.
Your letter hug just crossed over with mine! I am enclosing
our paper for JGM,and a letter to the Editor; and should be
grateful if you would read this copy before sending it,as I
have only one other available. I can have am a few more typed
later,should you like to keep a copy of it until offprints
will be svailable.

As you will easily appreciate,the paper was written
by myself,and Lederberg Hoes not ap arently mind to publish an
obviously unenglishly written paper,asg he has made only a few
more ob¥keus corrections. "e may have a few text corrections to
ask you to do in the proofs,as we have not had proper time to
correspond about some auestions; will the etik&ors be very
particular about one or to sentences added or cancelled? in
proofs? It does not matter if they charge for them.

Should this help you for heving some money in Ita—
ly, I might ask you to pay our offprints expenses —- but I can
easily manuce it independently if this is not convenient to
you. However,ag I wrote you in my lust letier,do not worry
about money in Italy.

I am leaving tomorrow for the ‘aris congress,where
Z have been luuky enough to be invited wté give paper on gene-
tics of antibiotic resistance. I shall be back on. dhe th or
the &th of August. Let me know about the exact date ut your
arrival,and I shall come to fetch you at the station . It is
very nice to see you again and hear of your work. I had to.
stop mine a;::in on various reasons; writing takes such a long
time and is a definitely boring task.

I hope you do not mind to forward Ghe paper to the
Editor. .

With best greetings to Mrs.Hayes,

Youss
