Francis Crick (1916-2004) forwards two letters to Aaron Klug (1926-2018).

The first, written September 12, 1979, by Margaret Markham to Crick. Markham, a member of the American Society of Journalists and Authors, shares her distaste for how Rosalind Franklin (1920-1958) was portrayed in Crick's article How to Live with a Golden Helix.

The second letter, written on October 2, 1979, by Francis Crick to the editor of The Sciences. Crick provides clarity to a sentence written in his article and states that he did not intend to imply that Franklin was not scientifically sound.
