Very Good. Letterhead of Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. "Dear President Holt: I am very sorry to hear, from your letter of November fourth, that you had caught such a severe cold. I hope that you have fully recovered from its effects, long 'ere this. It is indeed most kind of you again to invite me to receive a degree at Rollins College, and I wish that I might have the pleasure of accepting. But, as I shall leave the Rockefeller Institute at the end of next June, I have an overwhelming amount to do during the intervening months, It is really materially imposible for me to make any plans to go away from my laboratories this winter. Believe that I deeply appreciate your action, and that of the Committee on Honorary degrees, and deeply regret that I may not accept your gracious invitation. Yours very sincerely, (signed) Alexis Carrel.". Seller Inventory # 11725
