  Professor W. A. Noyes

  University of Illinois

  Urbana, Illinois

  You may, of course, use a quotation from my letter in your paper if you wish to. The word "larger" which you changed to "smaller" should, I think, be "larger". I mean by my statement that the distance of closest approach of one molecule containing a double bond to another molecule containing a double bond is larger than the distance of closest approach of two saturated molecules. I took the liberty of changing the word "smaller" back to "larger" in the manuscript itself when it was sent to me a day or so ago by Professor Lamb. I recommended, of course, that it be published. In regard to your quotation from my letter, I think that it might be enough to quote only the first paragraph. The second paragraph, dealing with the distance between atoms bonded together is not of as much direct significance to your work as the first; I included it mainly in answer to your question in your letter to me.

  With very best regards, I am

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling

  Dear Professor Noyes:

  I wish to present some suggestions regarding the development of our work in bio-organic chemistry in a more formal way than is possible by conversation.

  I believe that it would be unwise to attempt to rush the Rockefeller Foundation in the matter of providing support for this work, first, from the statements made to me by Weaver last year and to Professor Watson this year it is clear that Weaver has in mind a program of some magnitude, involving the support of one or two professors of advanced status together with their assistants and collaborators, rather than a small program involving young men at the beginning of their careers. Second, during his visit here this spring Weaver said to me that it was desirable for us to wait until February 1937 and then present a program covering my work and the work in organic chemistry planned for the Institute, saying that he was sure that favorable consideration would be given a project of this kind. I feel that our principal duty is to spend the next year in a survey of the question and during this time to formulate a considered program which can be presented in detail to the Foundation. The sums involved are so large that it would not be wise to act hastily.

  In regard to offering fellowships to young men for work during the coming year, I feel that this might be done to a limited extent on the basis of funds available to you, but that the Rockefeller Foundation should not be drawn into this project.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling

  Dr. John Herman

  771 San Julian Street

  Los Angeles, California

  Dear Dr. Herman:

  I was much interested to read the editorial in Metal Process about your spectrographic work, and indeed to learn of the existence of the method of analysis. The writer of the editorial has without doubt laid himself open to the charge of having made a public statement about something about which his information is far from complete, and I feel that you are justified in being made indignant. On the other hand, I myself have had little practical spectrograph experience, and in particular I have not had the opportunity of seeing the applied research spectrograph which you use. I am leaving on Friday for the East, and I have been so busy as to have been prevented from calling on you in order to learn more about the method. For this reason I feel that it is not wise for me to write directly to the editor of Metal Progress at this time. I would be interested to know what the outcome of your discussion with him is.

  With personal greetings, I am

  Very truly yours,

  Linus Pauling
