Davis Bacterial Physiology Unit Harvard Medical School 25 Shattuck Street Boston, Massachusetts 02115 Dear Bernie, ° In the early 1950's I recall seeing reviews of my research on bacterial recombination in the Soviet literature. I am interested in a sociological-historical study of how this was received. If you can recall such comments, or related ones on Avery's. work etc., I would be grateful for literature references, or if also possible xerocopies and translations. Sincerely yours, Joshua erberg Professor of Genetics JL/rr speed) 3) Pech gpes von Dor’ Lid ay au afiliack ©htaf PD eal led Ce- emg oS at te TEL CuBw Bare -“o re Coed f “L424 ce be feel’ © Res att, SZ 2 Reece LT.
