Dear Josh:

May I send the official greetings of the Botany Section of the
Academy on your election and invite you to affiliate with the Botany
Section (which includes general microbielogy), It was the Botany Section
that nominated you to the Academy, but with warm and strong support from
your many friends in the Zoology Section,

You have freedom of choice in joining a section -- but you may be
a member of only one,

May I add my personal congratulations and tell you how happy I am
at this recognition,

Sincerely yours,

DPD o—~—___,
David R, Goddard
