- Handwritten letter from T. Addis, Stanford School of Medicine, to LP. RE: Encloses a copy of the proposal. Thanks him for stopping by. [Filed under LP Science: Scientific War Work Materials re: Oxypolygelatin, 1941-1945, 1951-1952, 1972-1974: Box #13.004 Folder #4.2]
- Letter from LP to Mr. Edward C. Barrett RE: Requests an availability certificate for Mrs. Phyllis E. Clark. Recommends the certificate be issued since her services are not of great value.

Dr. R. B. Corey
Linus Pauling
I think that a part of our post-war program of intensive research might deal with hemoglobin, including the study of the oxygen-equilibrium curve, the dissociation of hemoglobin by urea, the properties of hemoglobin re-synthesized by adding heme to globin, and so on; and that a part might also deal with porphyrins, which are important both for hemoglobin and for chlorophyll.
What is the progress of our effort to get a new spectrophotometer for Chemistry-13?
Linus Pauling
P.S. I think that we could do a good job on elucidating the nature of the isomerization of porphyrins. Chromatographic methods have been successfully applied by S. Aranoff and M. Calvin, Journal of Organic Chemistry, 8, 205, (1943). They have found six isomers, and I think that they should have isolated seven.
- Letter from LP to S. N. Bagchi RE: Suggests that he apply at a university that is conducting research of his interest, or wait until the end of the war to come to Cal Tech. [Letter from Bagchi to LP May 22, 1944] [Filed under LP Correspondence: Box #37.11, file:(B: Correspondence 1944)]
- Note from Gordon B. Zimmerman to LP RE: Explains that since the death of his brother Wendell Zimmerman, he has been attempting to straighten out his affairs, and is hoping LP can help him make some use out of Zimmerman's experiments with high-energy explosives, since Zimmerman revealed more to LP than anyone else. Wishes to meet with LP and discuss possibilities. [Letter from LP to Zimmerman June 19, 1944] [Filed under LP Correspondence: 468.4]
- Note from Phyllis E. Clark to Dr. Campbell RE: Gives the keys to various places. She is leaving Pasadena in a few days and would like an availability certificate and check on Tuesday. [Letter from LP to Mr. Edward C. Barrett June 12, 1944] [Filed under LP Biographical: Academia: Box #1.029 file 29.1]
