  Dr. Paul H. Emmett

  Mellon Institute of Industrial Research

  4400 Fifth Avenue

  Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

  Dear Paul:

  On returning from a trip East, which lasted for three weeks, I have found your letter, which I hasten to answer.

  I thank you very much for your invitation to me to stay with you. I am coming on this trip alone — Ava Helen went along with me on the last trip to Philadelphia, Washington, and New York, and is staying at home this time. Moreover, I have got so behind in my work that I am making the visit to Pittsburgh as short as possible, and am staying only one night, at some hotel, as arranged by the Westinghouse Company. I have also signed up for two luncheons and two dinners, on Thursday and Friday, and so I shall not be able to visit you and Lela.

  Ava Helen and I are hoping that when we come East together sometime we can stop off for a visit with you in Pittsburgh. I hope that on this trip I shall get to talk with you a little while — without doubt you will be attending some of the meetings.

  Give our regards to Lela.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus

  Dear Dr. Spruth:

  I trust that the six additional glossy prints of my photograph sent by my secretary reached you safely, and also that you received my telegram, giving the subject of my talk as "Modern Structural Chemistry". I think that I can prepare under this title a talk which will be of interest to a general audience as well as to chemists familiar with the field.

  I am planning to arrive in Chicago at 1:30 P.M. on Wednesday, May 16, and to remain until that evening. If it would be convenient for you and Dr. Marschner to see me at that time, please let me know. I shall arrive on the Santa Fe Chief, at the Dearborn Station.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling

  Dear Warren:

  First let me say that I am glad to have a chance to speak on the Philharmonic program, and I thank you for inviting me.

  I enclose the first draft of my talk. It is 1,650 words -I thought that it would be better to get the advice of your group before pruning it. I shall be glad to have advice. It would be possible, of course, to give scores of examples of structures, but I have strived to get a message across - and I hope to be allowed to.

  As for item 11. of your suggestions: Perhaps the most interesting feature of my scientific career is its breadth - possibly no one (modern) has covered - or ranged over - more branches of science.

  Theoretical (even mathematical) physics: Book on quantum mechanics; papers on momentum eigenfunctions (Gegenbauer functions), spinning electron, etc.

  General physics: X-ray spectra, magnetism, line spectra (book).

  General and inorganic chemistry: Text book, many papers.

  Applied chemistry: B.S. in Chemical Engineering; research on propellants; member of Explosives Division of NDRC.

  Organic chemistry: Theory of resonance, etc.

  Structural chemistry: Theory of directed covalent bonds, many crystal structure and electron diffraction studies, etc. Book: "Nature of the Chemical Bond".

  Physical chemistry: Entropy of supercooled liquids, entropy of ice, properties of electrolytes, etc.

  Analytical chemistry: instrument for analyzing for oxygen.

  Mineralogy: Structure of silicate minerals and sulfide minerals.

  Biochemistry and biology: Work on hemoglobin and other proteins.

  Medicine: Work in immunochemistry; oxypolygelatin as a plasma substitute; Consultant CMR; Member Medical Advisory Committee to V. Bush.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling

  Dear Dr. Spedding:

  I thank you for your letter of November 7. I am very interested to learn that you have been having such good success with the rare earth program, and that you are planning to investigate rare earth metals and their alloys. Best wishes to you.

  In view of this circumstance, we shall, I believe, give up the main program which we had planned, and carry out only a small amount of work on these metals, in order to test some special points.

  In particular, we would like to make measurements of the lattice constant of cerium as a function of temperature, and also to reinvestigate the magnetic properties of the metal. It would be a great help to us to have some of the pure cerium which you have prepared, and I would be grateful if you could send us a supply, perhaps 25 grams.

  I shall be very interested to learn the results that you obtain about the crystal structure of samarium, as well as all the other results that you and Dr. Rundle and coworkers obtain. I assume that your investigations on the properties and crystal structure of these metals and their alloys will be published without delay.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling
