Brilliant American physicist (1904–1967) who directed the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and who spearheaded the Manhattan Project, leading to the development of the first atomic bomb. TLS, one page, 8.5 x 10.75, The Institute for Advanced Study letterhead, November 16, 1954. Letter to Judge Jacob M. Braude of Chicago. In part: “The best source to which I can refer you is the last chapter of ‘Science and the Common Understanding’ (published this year by Simon and Schuster). This book consists of the Reith Lectures, which I delivered in London last year. If you find a passage there which you would like to quote, I should appreciate hearing from you so that we may take up the matter of permission to reprint.” Permanently laminated but in otherwise fine condition, with creasing to left side and lower corners, and three punch holes to the left side. Matted and framed, this letter would nonetheless display admirably. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
