Dear Dr. Stanley:

     In regard to the meeting of the American
Chemical Society at Atlantic City April 12, I am very
happy to say that Dr. McCarty has agreed to present
our work on the transformation of pneumococcal types.

    The title of the paper might read as follows:
"Chemical Nature of Substance Inducing Transformation
of Pneumococcal Types," by Maclyn McCarty.  While I
appreciate the spirit in which you write, I feel it
would be quite superfluous for my name to appear on
the program.

     I have not yet received from Dr. Brand any
further details regarding the preparation of an abstract
or plans for publication.  The tentative program looks
interesting, and I am sure the meeting will be both
interesting and successful.                                       < -

With kindest regards,
