  • Letter from LP to Dr. Fernandez, CIT, RE: Suggests that Fernandez' current work on the electric dipole moments of halogen derivatives of methane are not interesting enough to justify continuing the research. LP suggests he begin to carry out calculations on the electronic structure of molecules such as phosphorus pentachloride instead. LP then goes on in great detail about the new project. [Filed under LP Manuscripts and Articles: 1952a].
  • Letter from Irvin Fuhr, National Institutes of Health to LP RE: Notification that his research grant expires on 9-30-52, and gives renewal instructions. [Filed under LP Science: 13.020].
