- Letter from LP to Arthur B. Lamb, Editor, Journal of the American Chemical Society RE: LP has two manuscripts, "The Calculation of Resonance Energy of Molecules from Thermochemical Data" and "The Quantum Mechanics of Aromatic Molecules and Free Radicals" which constitute papers V and VI in his series on the Nature of the Chemical Bond. He will only submit them to the JACS if rapid consideration and publication is possible. [Lamb's reply to LP February 28, 1933] [LP Science Box 14.002, Folder 2]

Dr. James B. Conant,
Harvard University,
Cambridge, Mass.
Dear Conant:
I am grateful to you for recommending Sheland. He is a very able man in mathematics and quantum mechanics, only one of my men being his equal.
We are just completing a quantitative treatment of free radicals, which gives pretty accurate dissociation energies, with - naphthyl better than with
- naphtyl, etc. It is really nice stuff - more than I had hoped for. I've written Lamb asking_ if he would publish our papers as rapidly as he does yours! If so, they may be in the May Journal.
Are you coming to Chicago in June? I'd like to see you. Best wishes.
Sincerely,
LP:M
