Dear Lynn:
I was glad to read your interesting papers on potassium and ammonium fluogermanate and potassium molybdocyanide dihydrate, which Lamb sent on to me. I have recommended their publication, suggesting only that you might wish to point out that the molybdocyanide configuration is the same as that of the ZrO8 groups in zircon. This is a very interesting investigation, and I am sorry that I did not get it included in my book.
Miss Rooke says that she has sent you our recent crystal structure reprints.
We hope that you do succeed in carrying out your plan of coming to Pasadena in the middle of September and we are looking forward to seeing yon then.
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling
