German scientist (1854–1915) who pioneered (and coined the term) chemotherapy and, in his research on a cure for syphilis, developed the 'magic bullet' concept of selectively targeting a disease-causing organism. Ehrlich received the Nobel Prize for Medicine together with Ilya Ilyich Mechnikov in 1908. Unsigned handwritten letter draft in German by Paul Ehrlich, sixteen pages, 8 x 9.75, Royal Prussian Institute for Experimental Therapy letterhead, January 4, 1905. Lengthy handwritten draft of a letter to the chemist and historian of science Ludwig Darmstaedter (1846–1927), regarding experimental therapy and the need for collaboration between the medical institute and a chemical laboratory. He sees this requirement fulfilled by the founding of the Georg-Speyer-Haus. In small part (translated): "I believe that the field of experimental therapy is going to become much wider. However, the welcome expansion will become possible only when the problems of procuring material are removed from the inventing executive, who must not be dependent on accidental instances of goodwill." In fine condition. Accompanied by a typed transcription.
