Correspondence

During my career, I had the enormous privilege of receiving letters from extraordinary individuals who shine brightly on the pages of history. I am particularly proud of this letter penned by Hans Albrecht Bethe, Nobel Prize for Physics in 1967 for his work on the theory of stellar nucleosynthesis.
