Munich, November 17, 1950, Dermatological clinic of the University, Frauenlob Street 9.
Dr. Henry E. Michelson, President of the American Dermatological Society, Medical Arts Building, Minneapolis, Minn. My dear Colleague,
I have just learned that the outstanding American dermatologist Fred Wise died in July 1950.
Dr. Wise was held in high esteem by the German dermatologists, as can be [proved] by the fact that he was one of the few foreigners mentioned in the 1929 German Calendar of Dermatologists with a list of his publications. I am expressing in the name of the German Dermatological Society my heartfelt sympathy in the loss of this great scientist. His entire lifework has enriched dermatology throughout the world. We feel your loss to be our loss too, and you will believe that we share your bereavement. What a void his departure has created!
Assuring you of my sincere regards and kindest greetings,
I
