  • Letter from LP to W.H. Freeman RE: LP is glad to hear that the old plates of General Chemistry will not be used in the new edition. He also states that it would be wise to have the design different from that of College Chemistry. He also asks various questions about past printings of General Chemistry. [Reply from Freeman to LP 7-11-52]. [Filed under LP Books: 1953b].
  • Letter from Ernest M. Allen, NIH to LP RE: Funds are now available for the research grant that has been awarded. [Related document from NIH to LP 2-21-52]. [Filed under LP Science: 13.020].
  • Letter from Barbara J. Boudreaux to California Institute of Technology RE: has recently received word from friends in Germany who have read of their recent successful experimental treatments of angina pectoris with the drug Betasyamin. Asks how they can get ahold of this new drug for a patient in their family. [letter of reply from LP to Ms. Boudreaux 7-21-52]
  • Letter from Prof. Nowotny to LP RE: writes to LP thanking him for his letter and agreeing with LP's objection concerning the nomenclature of intermetallic phases. Goes on to explain why he used this nomenclature in his article. [letter from LP to Prof. Nowotny 5-1-52].
  • Pauling Scrapbook: Chemical and Engineering News article entitled "Great Advances Predicted in Elucidating Protein Structure" RE: refers to LP's statements at the 26th National Colloid Symposium. Says Pauling discussed polypeptide chains and protein structure.
  • Letter from LP to Professor Enrico Fermi of the Institute for Nuclear Studies at the University of Chicago RE: acknowledges that Dr. Fermi signed a letter to the Secretary of the State on the grounds that it not be published. Apologizes that in fact, the letter has been published. [previous letter related letter from LP to Dr. Enrico Fermi 6-16-52] [Filed under LP Correspondence: Box #96].

  • Letter from LP to Mr. Dewey B. Larson RE: writes in response to Mr. Larson's letter, that he is interested to know more about his theories on fundamental scientific problems. Writes that Caltech might be interested in collaborating with him if they decide that his theories have some merit. Suggests that Mr. Larson send some copies of his calculations on compressibility for him to look over. [letter from Mr. Larson to LP 6-28-52, letter from Mr. Larson to LP 7-19-52] [Filed under LP Correspondence: Box #169 (Larson, Dewey)].
  • Letter from LP to Dr. Joseph E. Mayer RE: thanks him for his letter of 7-1-52. Writes that he is sorry to Fermi that the letter regarding McCarran that he signed in confidentiality was published.
