Dear Dr. Lederberg:

We are nominating our colleague, Dr. A. G. Marr, for the Eli Lilly
Award in Bacteriology. We are not too familiar with his accomplishments
on the N.A.S.A. Committee and thought that these might be pertinent to
his nomination. If you feel that this would be of significance, we would
greatly appreciate it if you would write a letter to br. E. M. Foster
supporting Dr. Marr's nomination. An original and four copies should
be sent. In any case, we would be interested to know your reaction to
our proposal.

Best regards.

Sincerely yours,

Bot-
