The transmittal envelope dated 1963 has also been mounted with the signature creating a 5X6 presentation piece. ES-3730D Francis Daniels Moore (April 17, 1913 in Evanston, Illinois – November 24, 2001 in Westwood, Massachusetts) was an American surgeon who was a pioneer in numerous experimental surgical treatments. Among his many achievements, he refined burn-treatment techniques, helped perform the world's first successful organ transplant (which involved a kidney), and accurately determined the volume of water and other nutrients in the human body using radioactive isotopes of those substances. In 1952, Moore became a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He was awarded the 1978 Lister Medal for his contributions to surgical science. The corresponding Lister Oration, given at the Royal College of Surgeons of England, was delivered on 23 May 1979, and was titled 'Science and service'.[4] He later became a member of both the National Academy of Sciences and the American Philosophical Society. Moore graduated from Harvard in 1935, where he was president of The Harvard Lampoon magazine and the Hasty Pudding Club. In 1939, he received his medical degree from Harvard Medical School.
