- Letter from LP to C. D. Russell Jr. [Russell's reply to LP September 7, 1939] [Filed under LP Correspondence: Box #340, Folder #340.4]
September 5, 1939
Mr. C. D. Russell, Jr.
1234 Pine Street
Niagara Falls, New York
Dear Mr. Russell:
I have got into some trouble in preparing our manuscript for publication. For example, I am not able to understand the numbers in your table relating to the imidazole experiments at pH 6.86. The ΔW values fall far below the value you give as the asymptote. If I assume that you have already subtracted off the asymptotic value, then I am not able to check the subsequent calculations at all, and I have also found similar trouble in checking the calculations in the other tables. I think that the best thing to do is for you to send your research book and any supplementary information that you have on to me at once.
This will probably delay publication somewhat, but I hope that the delay will not be long.
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling
