About this work

Description

Although it is not clear it is likely that both papers sent to Muller for comment were compiled by J Alan Roper and Pontecorvo. The letter has been annotated (possibly by Pontecorvo). Pontecorvo passed this on to Lotte (Charlotte Auerbach) to read and there is a note on it asking her to give it back to him. Important letter showing the development of genetics research in this period.
