Filled with grand content mentioning Dr. Alexis Carrel (with whom he worked on construction of perfusion pump, used to keep organs alive outside the body), dismissing Ross' article about him as a "mixture of fiction and rumor….I thought it trivial and rather silly," and decrying the bloodshed in Africa, "…I wonder if anyone now living will see the end to heavy bloodshed on that continent…." A choice example, featuring a dark, bold, pristine signature.
Estimated Value $800 - 1,000.
