American physicist (1904-1996) at Harvard University who did work on cyclotron research and was director of the Manhattan Project's Trinity nuclear test. ALS, one page both sides, 5.75 x 7.75, personal letterhead, February 4, 1977. Letter to "Professor Gilde," in part: "I admire your efforts to make science real and humanly interesting. Objectivity in science seems to be confused by many with logic, deduction, objectivity, and coolness in all phases of a scientist's life. I enclose a copy of a paper which was a joint effort with me, of Elizabeth Wilson (who was at Los Alamos in the army as a WAC), and Maurice Goldhaber, now retired but in 1965 was Director of the Brookhaven National Laboratory. The experiment described combined chemistry and radioactivity." In fine condition.
