Schätzwert
$ 5 000 – 8 000
CRICK, Francis (1916-2004). Autograph letter signed (“Francis” and also “F.H.C. CRICK” in return address) to Leonard Hamilton, Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge, 12 January 1955.

One page, 243 x 195mm. On blue Air Mail paper, with autograph addresses of Hamilton and of Crick on the verso (creased).

Reporting on his use of Hamilton’s DNA model and that he is writing “odd papers.” In full: “Just a hasty note to say that I had a letter from Rhoads, asking about the little DNA model. I have replied that Tony Broad could make one for him for around £50, but that I was not keen to lend ours, as we find it useful. I thought you might like to know about this if you don’t already. / We greatly enjoyed the picture of the children in the Christmas card. How are your plans for the future? I am writing odd papers (in both senses) and trying to catch up with my reading. Remember me to Ann.” After the discovery of the double-helix structure and receiving his PhD, Crick spent his postdoc year in the X-ray crystallographic laboratory of David Harker at Brooklyn Polytechnic—not too far from Hamilton at Sloan-Kettering. Later in 1955, Crick would predict the existence of tRNA in an unpublished paper.
