Dear Dr. Doumas:
I am not in a position to help you myself, but I have sent your
request on to a network of hundreds of scientists (Association of
Biological Research Facilities) amongst whom there might be someone
interested to collaborate with you on this project.
Please convey my warmest greetings to Professor Ruegg and Mrs. Ruegg.
Sincerely yours, N.L. Benoiton.
