Dear Mrs. Anfinsen,

  It is with great sadness  that I read of the passing of your dear
husband, Christian Anfinsen ~"1.

  His passing means the loss of a great mind to humanity, and a great
soul to the Jewish people.  He will be sorely missed as a man of action
and as .a supporter and friend of Israel.

  I will cherish the letter written by your late husband to the Nobel
Committee,  on my behalf.  It is a memento of the tentative beginnings of
the new era which he so strongly supported.

  I am certain that the memorial ceremony to be held at John Hopkins
University will honor his memory in the manner deserving of a man of his
vision and commitment.

Israel shares your loss.

Sincerely yours,

y Q&`h
Yitzhak Rabin
