TitleLetter from Howard Walter Florey to Robert Maxwell, Pergamon Press Limited, Headington Hall, Oxford
Date4 July 1964
DescriptionSurprised to learn of belief that the Royal Society some time ago refused to undertake to advise the government - no foundation for rumour - no mention of any such decision in Council minutes, 1940-1950 - should like to know of any factual evidence for the idea - hopes Maxwell will correct misconceptions - Royal Society welcomes opportunity to advise Government - hopes Conference went well - sorry not to come - had to go to Ditchley.
