“The immediate reason for starting research on nerve conduction, for which I received a share of the Nobel Prize in 1963, was an invitation from Hodgkin to join him in his research”

Physiologist and biophysicist, who won the 1963 Nobel Prize in Medicine. TLS, one page, 8.25 x 12, Trinity College letterhead, February 18, 1993. Letter to an interested collector. In part: “The immediate reason for starting research on nerve conduction, for which I received a share of the Nobel Prize in 1963, was an invitation from Hodgkin to join him in his research. I accepted, and we managed to obtain one important result during a few weeks’ work before it was brought to an end by the immediate prospect of war. Hodgkin and I kept in touch during the war and began working together again in Cambridge at the beginning of 1946. This was the work that led to the Nobel Prize.” In fine condition. RRAuction COA.
