SUMNER JAMES BATCHELLER: (1887-1955) American Biochemist. Nobel Prize Winner for Chemistry, 1946. An interesting T.L.S., `James B. Sumner´, one page, 4to, Ithaca New York, 15th October 1951, on the New York State College of Agriculture, Agricultural Experiment Station, Cornell University printed stationery, to Mr. Corbiere, Paris.
