There are several pieces of correspondence between Larry Morse and Joshua Lederberg, most of which appear to take place earlier than the correspondence displayed here. Almost all of the correspondence displayed here is between Esther M. Lederberg and Larry Morse, and is not to be found on the NLM "Profiles in Science" website for Joshua Lederberg. Joshua Lederberg attempts to downplay Esther M. Lederberg's importance as a researcher by suppressing publications, correspondence, etc. and attempts to take credit or to misinform any audience interested in the research that took place. The correspondence here demonstrates beyond a doubt that Joshua Lederberg played a very minor part in the research Larry Morse did mostly in collaboration with Esther M. Lederberg.
