    AIR MAIL February 8, 1968 Dr. F. H. C. Crick Salk Institute for Biological Studies P. 0. Box 1809 San Diego, California 92112 Dear Francis : Our last letters of February 6 crossed in the mails (except mine not have reached you as yet). Anyway, we are thinking along the and we will go ahead with a third printing OF MOLECULES AND MEN, all the time you want to prepare the new material. I am very confident the book will go into a fourth printing, and many more after that. Last evening I finished THE DOUBLE HELIX — or at least the second installment published in The Atlantic. Absolutely fascinating. I am sure this book will have/tremendous reception. It brings science (and biology) alive. And, of cour'se, especially the central figure ffancis Crick. I note Watson suggests in his conclusion that the other principals write their own versions. Do you plan to? probably will same lines, and give you hopefully Cordially, Z-W Donald R.
