Dear Josh: Can you tell me if the Pro- and T6R characters in strain W4032 arose simultaneously with the Lac- deletion, or in separate steps? Also, please note that I gave your strain W4047 to Uliyake[?], at Cold Spring Harbor. I am just back in Boston, but my lab is not finished and we anticipate 3 weeks delay due to failed delivery of a Heinicke. Best regards, Salva
