TitleLetter from R [Robert] Robinson, the Dyson Perrins Laboratory, South Parks Road, Oxford, to [Charles Robert] Harington
CreatorRobinson; Sir Robert (1886-1975); British chemist
RecipientHarington; Sir Charles Robert (1897-1972); British biochemist and medical administrator
Date8 January 1946
DescriptionHe thanks Harington for his prompt acton. The salary is not too much for [John Warcup] Cornforth, 'quite the best man I have had'. For the Royal Society Club, Robinson would keep the general theme of colonies and geography. Lord Rennell has written twice with ideas and a request for an appointment. If he accepts an invitation Robinson will write to invite Sir Frank Stockdale and they should save Sir John Anderson for the next but one dinner. He asks if there might be colonial or dominion scientists in London.
