TLS signed “Charles A. Lindbergh,” one onionskin page, 8.5 x 11, November 29, 1967. Lindbergh contacts Jesuit priest Edward B. Rooney about pro-Nazi scientist Alexis Carrel. In part: “I am very glad to have word about Mme. Carrel, even though it says, what I knew must be the case, that she is frail and showing her now great age. I have just finished a letter to her, telling of the introduction I have written…to Father Durkin’s latest book on Dr. Carrel…Earlier this year, in Hong Kong, I met a doctor from the United States who was actively engaged in basic medical research. Talk turned to Carrel. The doctor said: ‘Carrel was a hundred years ahead of his time.’ (I wrote Mme. Carrel about this.) Father Durkin’s work on Carrel has, as you well know, been comprehensive and perceptive—extraordinarily well done. I think his publication will have highly constructive and far-reaching effect—mounting with the passage of time.” In fine condition, with bottom right corner crease, a central horizontal and vertical fold, and a staple hole at the upper left corner, none of which disrupt his bold signature. Carrel and Lindbergh co-authored a book and worked in the mid-1930s to create a pump that allowed living organs to exist outside of the body during surgery. The advance was a crucial step in the development of open-heart surgery and organ transplant. Carrel's fascist and Nazi sympathies, as well as his anti-Semitism, are believed to have had a great influence on Lindbergh.
