Correspondence, Dodds, E.C.

The following correspondence reflects Chain's close friendship with Sir Charles Dodds and their numerous common interests in spite of considerable differences in background and temperament. The subjects covered range widely over both personal and scientific matters and the whole sequence of letters provides valuable additional documentation for many of Chain' s activities. In particular there are several references to the negotiations leading to Chain's appointment to the Chair of Biochemistry at Imperial College and to his subsequent grant applications to the University Grants Committee and others. There are also several exchanges arising from their common consultancy arrangements with various industrial firms, especially the Beechams Group with which Dodds was involved from the early 1940s through his friendship with H.G.
