Abstract:
In this letter, Ephrussi-Taylor, who worked for three years in Avery's lab, thanked Avery for his assistance in getting her an appointment at a French institution. She briefly detailed her establishing her own lab and work she planned to conduct in it. A large portion of the letter expressed Ephrussi-Taylor's concern for the state of science in the Soviet Union and her contempt for leftists and communists in Western science who do not condemn the repressive tactics of the Soviet government. She further detailed the activities of her husband, the noted scientist Boris Ephrussi, who fled Russia shortly after the 1917 Revolution and later became a naturalized citizen of France.
