Dear Dr. Lehmann:
On receipt of your letter I prepared to get in touch with Dr. Itano, but then received a letter from him, in which he said that circumstances had made it necessary for him to abandon his trip. If there had been more time, it might well have been possible to arrange for a travel grant for him in this country, but it was too late when the situation became clear.
We are sorry to see Dr. Itano leave our Laboratory, where he had worked effectively for eight years.
I am interested to learn about the new hemoglobin that you have discovered, and also about your results on distribution of C in Africa.
We are looking forward to the arrival of Dr. Allison, from Oxford. He is scheduled to be here in a week or so.
With best regards, I am
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling
