Thanks for response to query on what is an individual.
Sends paper on potatoes [see 10440].
Requests permission to publish CD’s previous letter [10440].
Believes publishing CD’s letter will enable JT to suppress the potato disease several years sooner.
Returns CD’s answer to JT’s question "What is an individual?", and repeats his request for permission to publish it.
JT still thinks CD’s opinions on "what is an individual?" should be published.
Seeking financial backing for his research.
Sends some potato plants and tubers.
JT’s crossing experiments on potatoes. Attempts to develop resistance to Peronospora.
Thanks for CD’s assistance and his advice on crossing.
