  Dr. Leslie Sutton

  Magdalen College

  Oxford University

  Oxford, England

  Dear Sutton:

  I was pleased to receive your letter of February 14—I had just been getting ready to write to you when it arrived, because my plans seamed to be pretty definite now.

  It will be fine for you to come to the electron diffraction conference this summer. I doubt that I shall be there, but I am not absolutely sure about my plans.

  I am coming to England for the months of June and July, having just decided to make this trip. I think that my wife will come along too. If things go well, we shall arrive about June 8, visit around the country a bit, beginning with a short stay in Cambridge, attend the Centenary Celebration of the Chemical Society in London July 15-17, and the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry during the next week. I suppose that our return trip will begin at the end of July. At present we have about a month, from the middle of June to the middle of July, with our plans rather indefinite. We shall, of course, come to Oxford for a few days during this period, for a look around in preparation for our arrival at the end of the year.

  I am afraid that our visit will cross yours, but I hope that we still are able to see you before you leave for America.

  My activities in the crystal structure and electron diffraction fields have not got built up again, after the interruption of the war. I have a paper on the structure of metals and intermetallic compounds, and especially the interpretation of interatomic distances, in the forthcoming issue of the Journal of the American Chemical Society. Also I am interested in some crystals which Mrs. Rogers-Low is working on now.

  Mrs. Lonsdale has just arrived, for a stay of a month here. She is a very nice person.

  The last few months have seen me hard at work on my textbook of freshman chemistry. It is to be published soon, the first copies presumably to be available the middle of May. The galley proof has not yet started to come in, but I would not be surprised to receive the first galleys today. The book is about 500 pages long—it contains 16 or 17 chapters which are mainly

  [page 2]

  theoretical, and the same number of chapters on descriptive chemistry.

  Please let me know what your sailing dates are, as soon as you learn them. I can't tell you my plans exactly now, because I too have not got steamship reservations.

  Cordially yours,

  Dr. Robert Rundle

  Department of Chemistry

  Iowa State College

  Ames, Iowa

  Dear Dr. Rundle:

  I have been so very busy in recent weeks that my earlier look at your paper was quite cursory. I have now looked at it again, although again not so thoroughly as I should like, and I am glad to tell you my opinion. Please accept these remarks for what they are, the result of some thought about the matter, but not a penentrating study of just what you have written.

  My feeling about the system of three orbitals on three atoms and two electrons is the following. There are several alternative ways possible for treating a system of this sort. I myself prefer to use the valence-bond method, with explicit mention of ionic structures and long bonds. It has seemed to me that this method had some advantages over the molecular orbital method, and intermediate methods.

  It is, of course, true that the inclusion of your structures I and II adds something to III and IV. The same results could be obtained by including the long bond structure, with a bond between A and 0, and the ionic structure, with the electron pair placed on atom A or atom B or atom C. Indeed, I find on introducing atom I in a wave function A + B and atom II in a wave function B + C and setting up a polyexclusion principle wave function, to correspond to your structures I and II, this function is equivalent to resonance between valence bond structures involving the three atoms, and a structure in which the electron pair is on atom B; that is, an ionic structure.

  I do not see any advantage to introducing this ionic structure, and the long bond structure, until it has been shown that they make significant contribution. I would expect the long-bond structure, in fact, to be of very little significance. I would also think that the ionic structure would be of little significance, if the atoms have equal electronegativity, but I may not be right about this.

  I do not feel that I understand the argument about the experimental heat of formation of diborans.

  As to my use of one electron bond for the boron hydride, as well as no-bonds, I would say that as the years have gone by I have felt disposed to put more and more emphasis on the

  [page 2]

  no-bonds, that is, to speak mainly about the resonance of electron pair bonds among alternative positions, with only incidental reference to one-electron bonds.

  I shall look forward to seeing your paper on the interstitial compounds.

  Sincerely yours,

  Sunday morning

  Dear love:

  Everything looks fine. its [sic] a nice clear day, with the sun shining brightly and almost to snow on the ground, so I'm hoping to have a warm + pleasant trip.

  Have you made your plans? Are you going to see Aunt Beth? I'm looking forward to seeing you ( and Mrs Durham) at 2 ³⁰ Tuesday.

  Friday afternoon I corrected my 9 galleys. They looked good. I mailed them at Utah Yuma. Then I read the two little books - pretty poor, both of them. "The Bitter Box" is punk. Yesterday I read the other two books by present fellows. They are better - but Mr Pick has written only 14 chapters, moderately good, in the whole year, Virginia Sorenson's "The Neighbors" seems to me to be first-rate - nothing strikingly original or new, but excellent character portrayal and storytelling. I didn't read her other book.

  Today in the club car after breakfast I read Fortune + got some data for my S.F. speech. I've eaten the candy JHS (or Mrs T) gave me - small chocolates from Sheetz's - pretty good.

  I've been thinking that we should appoint Mrs Lonsdole [?] Res. Associate, like Corey. What do you think? Why don't you ask people's opinion? I have an idea about how to interpret some of her results.

  Love

  Paddy

  Monday morning

  Dearest love:

  I hope that you are getting along all right with the children.

  Mrs. Clowes has just phoned - I'm going to dinner with them tonight. Dr C. is to pick me up soon to go to the lab. I arrived safely last night, and read a while before going to sleep! In Chicago I telephoned Phoebe. She says that she is feeling fine - much better now.

  She said that Corey's doctor has said that he is tired + must cut out all outside works doing only his University job. Perhaps I'll get to see the Hognesses [?] next Sunday, if I can change my reservation to a faster train.

  I must pop on down now to see Clowes.

  Love from your

  Mr. S. D. Beard

  Lederle Laboratories

  American Cyanamid Company

  30 Rockefeller Plaza

  New York, New York

  Dear Mr. Beard:

  Professor Campbell and Dr. Frank Lanni have recently been getting some very interesting results, from quantitative determinations of the amounts of precipitate formed when anti-SSI and anti-SSII is precipitated with the polysaccharides. They have asked me to write to you, in order to get some additional information.

  The serum which has been used is anti-I and anti-II horse serum bled 1-11-40 and numbered 4616, which you gave to us. Could you send us information about the general immunizing schedule in the preparation of this serum? This is of interest because the experimental results which they have obtained indicate the presence of antibodies with combining groups of both kinds on the same molecule.

  We have run short of specific substance SI, and need to have some more, preferably from one grams to five grams. It would be best to have Lot 230 if it is available. Dr. Piersma's letter of May 3, 1946 to me did not list type I pneumoccous polysaccharide, and so I am afraid that you may not have this material available for us.

  Could you send us information about the general method used in the preparation of SII polysaccharide Lot 36T which was given to us.

  Do you have available any house serum of type anti-I? Also any of type anti-II? Campbell and Lanni would like to make some comparative tests with a mixture of these two serums.

  Also have you a preparation of the non-specific polysaccharide, the C-substance? A small amount of this would be very useful to us.

  I am having a hard time now to get my work done in Pasadena and to arrange for my impending trip to Europe, for the months of June and July. These past few months have kept me very busy also because I am just publishing a textbook in freshman chemistry.

  With the hope that I may see you again before too long, I am

  Sincerely yours,

  Thursday afternoon

  Dearest love:

  I was happy to get your letter when I arrived at Henry's yesterday. If you don't meet me at the train in Oakland I'll wring your neck!

  Henry looks well- much better than last month. He's just been working too hard.

  I felt that I was catching a cold, so after lunch with Henry I took the train to Princeton and, after tea, went to bed at Aydelotte's. (In the little guest room- not the big one we were in.). Then I went to bed again after dinner, had breakfast in bad, had lunch with Veblen and the A's at the Institute, and went back to bad, correcting proof and reading detective stories.

  Frank seems very pleased about my Cambridge degree- he says it will the Oxford people think better of me.

  This isn't a bad cold- I slept moderately

  [page two]

  well, and am only a little shaky.

  The Aydelotte's seem to have another house in Princeton into which they'll move. They've asked us to stay with them when we are here in May. Frank hasn't said anything about the directorship.

  Veblen said the Garrett Birckhoff isn't much good- but perhaps he meant not as good as his father.

  Mrs Clowes sends her love to you. She seemed sorry not to see you again. I got some information about greenhouses- she said 16 x 24' is minimum, better to have a larger one.

  Kramers is here, but is in bed with a cold. He'll be in Pasadena later. I haven't seen anybody else.

  We'll have tea soon, and then take the train for New York, have dinner with Henry and EBW at the Century Club, & then I'll go on to bed.

  Love from your

  Paddy
