Image title	L0043312 In memoriam card Credit: Wellcome Library, London. Wellcome Images images@wellcome.ac.uk http://wellcomeimages.org A satirical note, in the style of an in memoriam card, sent to Maurice Wilkins and signed by Franklin and Gosling, with the following text (holograph, Franklin's hand): "It is with great regret that we have to announce the death, on Friday 18th July 1952[,] of DNA helix (crystalline). Death followed a protracted illness which an intensive course of Besselised injections had failed to relieve. A memorial service will be held next Monday or Tuesday. It is hoped that Dr M H F Wilkins will speak in memory of the late helix." The text refers to the 'A' form (low humidity) of DNA.
