A.L.s., to H. F. Baker

Asks if HFB thinks his work good enough for him to become a member of the Royal Society and asks HFB to propose him if he thinks it has a chance of success. Notes the strained relations he has with the only other statitician in the RS, Karl Pearson, which makes the situation difficult.
