- Itinerary: California Section A.C.S., Berkeley (?) [Filed under LP Travel: Box #1.002, Folder #2.1]
- Letter from Bruce B. Robe, Battelle Memorial Institute, to LP RE: LP's letter to Dr. Williams has reached Robe due to Williams' absence. Appreciates LP's interest in bringing former student Fernando L. Carraro to their attention. Has been considering need for technological assistance to Brazil's industry. Has thought about how Carraro can assist in this regard. No definite plans yet, but will keep Carraro in mind. [Filed under LP Correspondence: (B: Correspondence, 1955-1957), #38.1]
- Letter from Dr. Alexander Rich, Cavendish Laboratory, Physics Dept., University of Cambridge, to LP RE: Describes structure for collagen that he and Dr. Francis Crick have made. Encloses photographs of the model they have built. Has heard that someone at Caltech is working on a proline peptide. Requests the dimensions for the proline residue if they are available. Will send a more complete account of the model later on. [Letter from LP to Rich August 28, 1955] [Filed under LP Science: Box #6.004, Folder #4.19] [Also filed under LP Correspondence: (R: Individual Correspondence. (Reynolds - Riley)), #329.3]
- Letter from Dr. J. Van Overbeck, Agricultural Research Division, Shell Development Co., to LP RE: Encloses a reprint of a paper by Houwink which might interest LP. [Letter from LP to Overbeck August 11, 1955] [Filed under LP Correspondence: (V: Correspondence, 1933-1969), #427.15]
- Letter from F.B. Isakson, Office of Naval Research to LP RE: Inform LP that renewal for on year of contract N6onr-24432 (NR 017-411) has received scientific approval of the Physics Branch and has been referred to the ONR Contract Division for negotiation. [Letter from Gree to Department of the Navy June 23, 1955] [Filed under LP Science: (Office of Naval Research: Correspondence, Contract Status Reports and Project Status Reports, 1947-1962), Box #14.031, Folder #31.18]
- Letter from LP to Dr. W.W. Newschwander, Associate Professor of Chemistry, Central Washington College of Education, RE: LP does not believe it would be wise for him to accept Newschwander's invitation to lecture at the proposed Institute for High School Chemistry Teachers next summer at Central. Would not like to have a heavy lecturing schedule during the first part of the summer and has tentative plans for a trip to Europe that summer. However, enjoys Northwest and enjoys attending the Institutes for Teachers of Chemistry. Suggests that he attend the first week of the Institute. [Letter from Newschwander and Crum to LP August 1, 1955, Letter from Newschwander to LP August 16, 1955] [Filed under LP Correspondence: (N: Correspondence), #287.22]
- Letter from Professor H.C. Longuet-Higgins, Chemical Laboratory, University of Cambridge, to LP RE: Agrees that the possibility of the closed-shell tetragonal structure for elementary boron should not be excluded until the necessary calculations are made. However, feels quite confident about the hypothesis in view of calculations made on the calcium boride system. Encloses the paper which describes this in detail. Does not feel that any simple conclusion can be drawn regarding the electronic structure from the observed bond lengths. Will be interested to hear if LP's calculations on calcium boride lead the similar conclusions. [Letters from LP to Longuet-Higgins July 11, 1955, August 31, 1955] [Filed under LP Correspondence: (L: Individual Correspondence. (Longuet-Higgins - LuValle)), #218.1]
- Letter from Professor Melvin Calvin, Radiation Laboratory, University of California, Berkeley, to LP RE: LP's letter regarding the symposium on Molecular Structure and Biological Specificity reached Calvin in Brussels. Calvin was able to discuss it directly with Shinn. Shinn will see if he can arrange for Calvin to travel to Washington for it since he would very much like to attend. [Letter from LP to Calvin July 22, 1955, Letter from Calvin to LP September 7, 1955] [Filed under LP Speeches: 1955s.24]
