Description

Alexander Fleming

TLS, one page, 5 x 8, Wright-Fleming Institute of Microbiology letterhead, May 7, 1948. Letter to Norman Edwards of the magazine Answers, who had sent birthday wishes, in part: “There was a time, in the last century, when I read 'Answers' but it is many years since I have seen it and I am afraid I thought it was dead. I am glad to hear that it is still flourishing and it must have surely been laid on sound foundations to have survived two wars." In very good condition, with a small tear to top edge, several horizontal folds, and toning from previous display. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
