Dear Professor Lederberg

You will have received separately my telex informing you of your election as a Foreign
Member of the Royal Society. I would now like to express my personal pleasure in
conveying this news to you.

It is the wish of the President and the Officers that you be cordially invited to be the
Society’s guest at the next Anniversary Dinner of the Society in the evening of Friday,
30 November 1979. If you are contemplating a visit to this country in the Autumn I hope
it may be possible for you to arrange it to coincide with this date. The President would
like to extend this invitation to your wife as well, or one other person who may be
accompanying you on your visit. The Anniversary Meeting at 2.30 p.m., also on 30 November
would be an excellent opportunity for your formal admission to the Society.

If you are unable to come to this country at the time of the Anniversary Meeting, I
would appreciate it if, before your next visit to London, you would be kind enough to make
contact with the Executive Secretary so that arrangements could be made for your formal
admission to the Society. In this connexion I enclose a card giving dates of the Ordinary
Meetings of the Society.

A Diploma of Foreign Membership will be sent to you indue course and meanwhile I
am enclosing a copy of the ‘Notes for Newly Elected Fellows’. I should be grateful if you
would be good enough to complete sections B, C and D of the separate form and return
it, by airmail, in the enclosed envelope. For your guidance in completing section C, I am
enclosing an extract from the Year Book for 1979 which will indicate the normal form of
entry. Also enclosed are some notes on the facilities available to Fellows and Foreign Members
of the Society.

The Year Book for 1979, the booklet of your personal record and the Royal Society’s
Instructions to Authors will be sent to you separately by surface mail.

Bul Prs1H wigl, Yours sincerely,

Foreign Secretary and Vice-President, R.S.

Professor J. Lederberg, For.Mem.R.S.
