About this work

Description

Correspondence concerns the offer of a job in the Research Department working with Michael T Sampson. Pontecorvo postpones making a decision for some time and, in the end, decides to stay at Glasgow where the University was "moving in the right direction as regards accommodation for the department," despite moving at "a maddeningly slow speed". Correspondence also touches briefly on Genetical Society matters.
