Dear Dr. Nirenberg,
In a recent issue of "Look Magazine" I read of your work with nucleic acids and especially with the molecule called DNA. The article was fascinating -- especially to me, since I am a polio victim. I wonder if your research in any way indicates a help for the nerve damage caused by

such diseases as polio. Any information you might be able to give me would be greatly appreciated.
I wish that I could be of some assistance to your research, and I do offer my prayers for your success in all your work.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Jonan Williams
