My dear Dr. Tatum:

I have the honor to inform you that the General Education Board has
awarded you a fellowship for study principally at the University of Utrecht with
Dr. F. Kogl on the technique of isolation and identification of growth stimulants
for microorganisms.

This fellowship provides for a stipend and family allowance at the
basic rates of One hundred twenty dollars ($120) and Eighty dollars ($30) a
month, respectively, payable in local foreign currercy, for a period of not more
than twelve months beginning approximately September I, 1936. The fellowship
also provides for travel for yourself only from Madison, Wisconsin, to Utrecht,
Holland, and return, and for laboratory fees.

Payments will be made to you monthly in advance by the office of The
Rockefeller Foundation, 20 rue de La Baume, Paris, France, in accordance with our
schedule for fellows studying in Europe. The sum provided for stipend will be
paid for the actual period of study exclusive of time devoted to travel. If your
family remains in this country, payments of family allowance will be made dirsct-
ly by this office in U.S. dollars to the name and address of the person you
indicate.

Please let Mr. Floyd Lyle of our New York office know as far in advance
as yossible the approximate date on which you wish to sail. He will arrange for
your steamship reservation and will see that the necessary travel funds are ad-
yacriced promptly. Immediately upon your arrival in Europe, please communicate
with Mr. George W. Bakeman of the Paris office.

Advice has been received from Dr. Meyer that you have satisfactorily
passed a medical examination. The award announced to you in this letter is
conditional upon your being inoculated against typhoid and paratyphoid. You
should call upon Dr. Meyer to whom we are sending an immunization blank for this
purpose. The cost of this service will be met by the Board.

In accepting this fellowship, please sign and return for our records
the endorsement on the copy of this letter which is enclosed herewith.

Very truly yours 2 J
