TLS, one page, 7 x 8.75, White House letterhead, April 12, 1938. Letter to Dr. Frederic T. Lewis, president of the American Association of Anatomists, in full: "Through you, to the American Association of Anatomists, I wish to convey my warm congratulations on the completion of fifty years of activity as a scientific body. Perhaps yours, more than any other scientific discipline, combines the rigors of an exact science with the latitude of a biological science. Anatomy, including comparative anatomy, forms the framework on which numerous other sciences are based. Though many of your number have been active in fields which a few decades ago may not have been thought of, by some, as explicitly anatomical, you have maintained cohesion, and in your ranks are numbered leaders in anatomical knowledge and discovery. We continually and vitally need your help in maintaining and increasing the body of anatomical knowledge available, and the American public will be the gainer if your organization will keep intact this history of service." In fine condition.
