Committee on Grants-in-Aid,
National Research Council,
Washington, D.C.
Gentlemen:
I wish to submit to you the enclosed application for a Grant-in-Aid for $1000 for one-half the salary of an assistant for my investigations in the electron distribution in crystals and related subjects, in support of which I have received two earlier grants. I had not expected to apply for an additional Grant-in-Aid, having made application to the National Research Fund; but inasmuch as there seems to be little hope that this fund will become operative, I should like your support for another year, at the end of which I plan to have made other arrangements.
Very truly yours,
Linus Pauling
