TLS signed “Jim Watson,” one page, 8.5 x 11, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory letterhead, September 2, 1998. Watson writes Stephen Read of Birmingham, Alabama. In full: “I hope that this note reaches your before your operation. I have just returned from England where I was most of the summer. When I came as Director to Cold Spring Harbor 30 years ago, I focused most of our DNA-based research on cancer. I am very encouraged by all that we have learned, especially the many clues provided as how we may stop cancer cells from growing. Over the next few years, we are likely to have families of powerful new anti-cancer drugs. Hopefully they will help ensure that you have a long and productive life to come.” In fine condition, with a few wrinkles and light creases. Inspirational and hopeful words from the highly-revered Nobel prize recipient.
