Dear Fowler:

My wife and I shall be in Washington for the meetings and we are looking forward enthusiastically to seeing you then and also in California when you come West later.

I hope that you are not getting impatient about our book for the Oxford Press. Wheland and I have been working on it but my efforts have not been so great as they should have been because I have been busy and also because I have been recuperating from writing the Introduction to Quantum Mechanics with Wilson. Now Wheland has been awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in order that he may work in England on some problems connected with the book and also continue its composition. I think that we should be able to get it practically completed during the next year, and I hope that this arrangement is satisfactory to you. Please do not say anything about Wheland's appointment, the Guggenheim Fellowship Board not yet having made its announcement.

With best wishes, I am

Yours sincerely,

Linus Pauling
