Dear Warren:
I am enclosing prints of an ascillation x-ray photograph of Glycine and a Laue x-ray photograph of d-glutamic acid which you might find useful as illustrations for your article.
Perhaps you read in the papers that we had a fire in the Crellin Laboratory. Fortunately no one was injured and the damage was restricted almost entirely to the undergraduate organic laboratory, with very little research lost. We had complete insurance coverage and shall have the laboratory in shape for the students when the Institute opens next month.
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling
