    25 June 197G Roy K. Smith, Esq. 19, Chilcomb Road Southampton S02 5GP Dear Smith Thank you for your letter of 22 June asking me to address the John Ray Society next Michaelmas term. I shall be glad to do this. Almost any Monday evening in that term would be suitable. It would help me in suggesting a title if you could give me some idea of the sort of topic that would interest the Society and the level at which 1 should talk. I would prefer not to talk on the social in ¡.plications of biology. I could, of course, choose some topic in classical molecular biology but I would prefer to discuss some of our more recent work in developmental biology, although naturally this would be more about ideas and methods rather than about results, as we have not got very far yet. Let me know what you think. Yours sincerely F.H.C. Crick
