15 lines plus signature. Ink on paper with personal letterhead in red. 1 leaf, triple folded. With corresponding envelope, addressed and stamped. Letter by James Chadwick to James Frederic Riley (English physician, radiologist and cancer specialist, 1912 1985), in which he expresses his regret at not being able to contribute a foreword to Riley s new book. I have had a series of nasty collapses in the last couple of months and, finally, my doctor insisted that I should take a complete rest for the year. I had, to my great distress, to give up my part in the Rutherford Centenary Celebrations [�]. I am very, very sorry for I feel sure from what you say in your letter that your book would interest me very much." In 1935, Chadwick was awarded the Nobel Prize for the descovery of the Neutron.
