  Professor Arthur B. Lamb

  Chemical Laboratory of Harvard University

  12 Oxford Street

  Cambridge, Massachusetts

  Dear Professor Lamb:

  My own opinion that the magneto-optic effect is a real (though illusory) phenomenon cannot be justified by any set of experiments described in the literature or by any theoretical arguments (since the nature of the effect is not known). Holding this opinion, I favor publication of the Sommer-Allison communication, for reasons which, insofar as they are concrete enough to be stated, are essentially expressed in the third paragraph of your letter to me.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling

  Dr. N.B. [sic] Sidgwick

  Lincoln College,

  Oxford, England.

  Dear Dr. Sidwick,

  I wish to thank you for inviting me to come to the meeting of the British Association at Norwich next September. I am sorry to say, however, that it will not be possible for me to accept the invitation,- partly because I am not able to afford the trip having just made a trip East, and partly because I feel that I can not take the time from my researches. I would of course like very much to hear and take part in the discussion on the magnetic properties of molecules, and I should like also to see you, Sutton, Taylor and all of my English friends again. Perhaps I can accomplish the second purpose before too many years have gone by.

  I have just received a letter from Sutton who seems to be happy and to have hopes of becoming productive in the electron diffraction field. I hope that he does get his apparatus into operation very soon inasmuch as the field is such a promising and productive one. Everyone here liked Sutton very much and was glad that he stayed longer than was contemplated originally.

  Jenkins has been a disappointment to us too; he does not seem to be very interested in the work that he is doing and accomplished almost nothing during the past year. I hope that after a summers [sic] rest he will come back with more interest and energy.

  I have read your report in the Annual Reports on the resonance and coordination of hydrogen with much interest. Hendricks and Wolf at the Fixed Nitrogen Research Laboratory have just discovered a very powerful spectroscopic method of testing for the presence of hydrogen bond and they have already obtained a number of results regarding the rules covering the formation of this bond. I think that a report of their work will be published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society within a few months.

  With best wishes, I am

  Yours sincerely,

  LP:M
