Bernard J. Brent writes to Werner Kuhn (1899-1963), a Swiss physical chemist who developed the first model of the viscosity of polymer solutions using statistical mechanics. Brent requests contact information for Karl-Friedrich Bonhoeffer's (1899-1957) physician as he intends to ensure this physician is aware of the latest progress in the treatment of angina pectoris (a symptom of coronary artery disease). Bonhoeffer has been suffering from angina pectoris, causing the concern of friends and family.
