Dear Professor Lederberg:

I am very much interested in your vaner entitled 'Tonological
Gravhs of Crganic Molecules" which has just apveared in the

, ‘Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences-" I should
\Wereatly annvreciate your sending me a reprint of it, and in

kG
(

fact, two reprints if you can svare them, because the subject

students.

0 9/M

Under senarate cover I have sent you 4 recent resort by me
entitled "Convex Polytopes and Linear Programming". (This
will appear later in the year in an IBM nublication)-. while
the general emphasis of the report is rather aside from your
interests, I think that pages 26-40 may be of some interzst

to you since they deal with the structure of graphs of the
sort detailed in your narer- Some of the material of the
following section may also interest you. I should mention
specifically the fact that Bouwkamp and some of his colleagues
at the FPhilins Research Laboratories in Eindhoven have compiled
a table of all triply connected planar graphs having uv to 19
edges» Also available are pictures of all of these granns
wnich have no more than 17 edges.

I should greatly ap~reciate your ~utting me on your nailing
list for any future reprints which deal with problems of a
combinatorial nature as I am much interested in combinstorics
in general, and more svecifically in connection with sciences
other than mathematics.

Yours sincerely,

Victor flee
