Copy letter from Robert William Frederick Harrison, to Professor [William] Bateson, Fellow of the Royal Society As Chairman of the Soiree Committee he should know that the Council decided that the usual public dinner on the Anniversary should not be held this year, and whether Fellows should dine privately with guests is still under consideration, it has been referred to a sub-committee. In these circumstances it will hardly be necessary to call the Soiree Committee. 16 October 1914
