  Dr. Karl Landsteiner

  The Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research

  66th Street and York Avenue

  New York, New York

  Dear Dr. Landsteiner:

  I have received my manuscript from you, and the suggestions which you make. I shall revise it in accordance with these suggestions, and then complete the manuscript by the discussion of specific examples.

  I would, however, like to have you tell me whether or not you are generally satisfied with the way the manuscript is written— that is, have I started out in a way that seems satisfactory to you. It may be that you would prefer to have me write a much more detailed and advanced treatment than the one which I have prepared, and if so I would do this. Please let me know whether or not you are satisfied in general.

  I agree with you that ionized groups are in part responsible for antigen-antibody union. I would, I think, classify these with weak interatomic forces in a medium such as water, which because of its high dielectric constant reduces the strength of attraction between ionized groups.

  I was in New York for a day last week, attending a meeting of the National Defense Research Committee. I stayed overnight with the Mirskys and I wanted to see you, but unfortunately was not able to find time.

  With best regards, I am

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling

  P.S. I would be interested to know what you think of our experiment on the manufacture of antibodies. A young man from the Lederle Laboratories, Dr. Harrison Davies, who spent two years here as National Research Fellow in Medicine, was here a couple of weeks ago, carrying out some tests. He made a very satisfactory antiserum against one of the resorcinol dyes, and seems to have convinced the Lederle group that the method is all right.

  Dear Wendell:

  We have sent separately to you a portion of bovine gamma globulin, which we have been using in our manufacture of antibodies. We have usually used a solution one per cent or two per cent in globulin, dissolved in 0.9% sodium chloride. As you know, we have found that procedure of heating at 57° for a number of days in the presence of antigen pretty satisfactory. Adding alkali to pH 11 and then slowly returning to neutrality by dialysis against butter also works, but of course cannot be used with your virus. For separating the antibody from antigen precipitation by one-third saturated ammonium sulfate seems to be very satisfactory.

  I hope that you will carry out some experiments on the preparation of antisera against viruses, and let me know how they come out.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling

  Dear Dr. Sherwood:

  Thanks for arranging the extension of $2000.00 on our present contract.

  I shall put through a purchase order with the Bell Laboratories for the job that Dr. Bozorth is doing for us. I do not know yet whether that will come under our present contract or under the contract starting July 1, or perhaps divided.

  The suggestion in your letter of May 13, 1942 that our next contract be a one-year contract involving $4,800 for salaries, $2,400 for overhead, and $2,800 for supplies and travel is quite satisfactory to me. It corresponds closely to the proposal in my letter of April 10, 1942.

  We are now building instruments covering the range 0-40 mm. of oxygen. I think that there would be no great difficulty in building an instrument for Mr. T. H. Chilton to cover the range 0-15 mm. of oxygen in ethylene, with reasonable accuracy, provided that we knew the pressure of ethylene which would ordinarily be present. Change from one atmosphere of ethylene to one half an atmosphere, for example, would cause an error of a millimeter or two in the reading, but if the ethylene pressure were kept roughly constant this trouble would not arise. At present we would have some difficulty in making an instrument giving much accuracy over the range 0-8 mm., but I hope that after Dr. Bozorth has completed his investigation on improvement of the magnetic circuit an instrument of this type could be built. In a month or two I shall have information on this point.

  Yours truly,

  Linus Pauling

  Washington, D. C.

  Dear Professor Adams:

  I would be glad to have your opinion as to whether or not I should be scheduled to receive a salary from the OSRD during the summer. So far as the California Institute of Technology is concerned this is permissible, since the salary payments here are for work during the term of the academic year.

  The amount of time which I am devoting to war researches has been steadily increasing, and it seems likely that I shall put in all of my time during the summer on war work. At present I am serving as Official Investigator under two contracts from Division B, and I have just been granted a contract for work on transfusion by the Committee on Medical Research. In addition I have been supervising some work under a work order from Division A. Now that I have given up my plans for completing the preparation for publication of my textbook in freshman chemistry during the summer, the only work which I propose to carry on which is not under the OSRD will be the Rockefeller research program on the artificial production of antibodies, which has the sponsorship, if not the financial support, of the Committee on Medical Research.

  It is probable that the construction in quantity of the oxygen instrument will soon be turned over to the National Technical Laboratories, so that I shall not have to devote time to this. On the other hand, Kistiakowsky has invited me to spend a part of the summer working as Consultant to the group at Bruceton, and I am looking forward to being there for a month or more. My wife is planning to go to Bruceton with me, since I have trouble with my diet when I am away from home for more than a few days.

  I want to thank you for inviting me to the meeting in New York. I was very pleased to be present and to learn of the work that is being done by the other sections of Division B.

  Cordially yours,

  Linus Pauling
