  • Letter from Peter Pauling to LP and AHP RE: Discusses the Pauling's upcoming trip to England. Also mentions that Sid Bernhard, Jim Watson, and himself are planning a trip to Paris. He then writes, "I gave Jim Watson essentially the paper on nucleic acids, and after the 12th he showed it. Morris Wilkins is supposed to be doing this work; Miss Franklin evidently is a fool. Relations are now slightly strained due to the Watson-Crick entering the field. They (W-C) have some ideas and shall write you immediately. It is really up to them and not to me to tell you about it. We tried to build your structure, and succeeded, I think. It was pretty tight... They are getting pretty involved with their own structure and losing objectivity".
