- Letter from A.L. Dounce, University of Rochester, to LP RE: Dounce has just read LP's nucleic acid description in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and is concerned with various aspects of the structure. Dounce mentions that he has been contructing a hypothesis of replication
that would be ruined by LP's model. He notes problems with hydrogen placement and possible reactivity with metallic ions.
He questions LP's measurement of cross sectional area. He questions the ability of enzymes to act on a molecule as tightly
packed as LP's structure. He questions how DNA-ase would function. [Reply from LP to Dounce 3-23-53]. [Filed under LP Science:

- Letter from Theodore McClintock, W.H. Freeman and Company, to LP RE: Details various aspects of the second edition of General Chemistry that must be edited. Gives twelve numbered corrections to be made. [Reply from LP to McClintock 3-23-53]. [Filed under LP Books: 1953b].
- Letter from Peter Pauling to LP and AHP RE: Discusses what he has been doing recently. After the signature, Peter writes,
"The professor is ill, but you will get a Crick Watson letter as soon as he has read it. Sid wants his manuscript." [Filed
under LP Biographical: 5.020].
- Letter from Easibind Ltd. to LP RE: sends a letter thanking LP for his order of their Easibinders.
Encloses a receipt for his cheque. Sends some information about how the binders will work.
[invoice included with the same date] [letter from LP to Easibind Ltd. 3-10-53].
- Letter from Ben May to LP RE: encloses a copy of Science, March 13, thinking that LP might
need an extra copy of the article on Bioserological Methods of Human Classification.
- Letter from Dr. G. V. Raynor to LP RE: writes that he is grateful for LP's letter about C 14, C 15 and C 36 crystals, and
is interested to see LP's conclusions about the electronic structures of the phases of those types. Is also interested to
the hear the new theory of ferromagnetism from LP. Requests advance copies of the work. Also requests anything LP can tell
him about his interpretation of inter-metallic phases. [letter from LP to Dr. Raynor 3-10-53, letter of response from LP to Prof. Raynor 3-27-53].
- Letter from C. T. Geiser, Procurement Officer of the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture to LP RE: writes
that they have stored in their Bureau space some equipment with Cal Tech nameplates on them.
Asks what they should do with it. [filed under U: Correspondence 1953] [letter of response from
J. H. Sturdivant to Mr. C. T. Geiser 4-1-53].
- Letter from LP to Dr. William S. Johnson of Rohm and Haas Company RE: LP thanks Dr. Johnson for informing him that he will
be unable to attend the conference on the structure of proteins. [LP invitation to Dr. Johnson 2-6-53]
- Letter from LP to Dr. Highberger RE: Is sorry that United Shoe Machinery Corp. is not planning to send a representative to
the conference on protein structure. Gives him more information on the conference on the configuration of polypeptide chains
that will be held in September, and invites a representative to attend. [pencil note on top of page indicates letter was sent
to Mr. Bartz] [invitation from LP to Dr. Highberger 2-6-53]
- Letter from LP to Dr. Ralph Connor, Rohm and Haas Company RE: Is sorry that Dr. Connor has decided to not send a representative
to the lecture on protein structure. Mentions that this knowledge is important in leather and textiles, but the field is admittedly
not very extensive. [Pencil note at top indicates cc to Bartz]. [Invitation from LP to Connor 2-6-53, Letter from LP to Connor 3-11-53].
- AHP writes cheque to: J. W. Robinson Co. amount: $46.41
