Physicist (1901-1954) who became the first to split the atom and was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1938 for his developments in harnessing nuclear power. TLS signed “E. Fermi,” one page, 6 x 9.5, King's Crown Hotel letterhead, January 8, 1939. Letter to Dutch-American physicist Samuel A. Goudsmit, in part: "I have spent these days in making up my mind as to what to do next summer. After a thorough discussion of the situation with Laura we have finally decided to accept the invitation to come to Ann Arbor. Of course it would be rather a mean trick on your side if you were to go to Holland in the mean time. Let me therefore know as soon as possible what shall be your decisions in this respect. I should also like to know something about the lectures that I shall have to give. I suggest that I might discuss at least for some lectures the problems of the cosmic radiation." In fine condition.
