Description

“Unfortunately, I fear there are no new forms of the magic bullets that already have been tried on your friend’s son”

TLS signed “Jim Watson,” one page, 5.5 x 8.5, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory letterhead, July 13, 1988. In full: “I apologize for not replying sooner, especially in view of the tragic story you wrote. Unfortunately, I fear there are no new forms of the magic bullets that already have been tried on your friend’s son. But, I am not a M.D. and do not move daily in the circle of the medical scientists who can give a comprehensive answer. So, I’m sending your letter to Dr. Bayard Clarkson, of the Memorial-Sloan Kettering Institute, and Chairman of our Board of Trustees, who for many years has been at the forefront of efforts to treat lymphomas.” In fine condition. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
