  • LP records further calculations on the structure of nucleic acids into his research notebooks.
  • Letter from Peter Pauling to LP and AHP RE: Discusses nucleic acid structure: "We still feel that the structure requires sodium, and somewhere near the oxygens, whose negative charge must be cancelled, to hold the molecule together. We agree that everything is a little tight... Actually, it is thought at the Cavendish that the structure is pretty good. We have nothing better to offer." Goes on to discuss finances, traveling, and cars. [Filed under LP Biographical: 5.020].
  • Note from T. Imanishi to Dr. Gutenberg [turned over to LP] RE: writes that he encloses his original paper titled "Oxygen Hydrogen in Metals." Bases his ideas on experimental facts. Asks if Dr. Gutenberg can use his paper and also requests criticism from LP. [related letter from Dr. Gutenberg to T. Imanishi cc: LP 3-6-53 [typed date as 1952, but believe it is from 1953], related letter from LP to Mr. T. Imanishi 3-13-53].
  • AHP writes cheque to: Walter Fritts amount: $48.00
