Letter from LP to Arthur B. Lamb, Editor, Journal of the American Chemical Society RE: LP states that Dr. Carpenter misquoted him in his reply to the suggested revisions for his paper and that he still should revise his hydrocarbon chains so the figure agrees with present knowledge. However, he recommends that the paper be published whether Dr. Carpenter wishes to act on the suggestion or not.

Dear Mr. Schaefer:

The enclosed material is the copy for the first three chapters of the book. The drawings for the new figures in these chapters are coming separately, and copy for the rest of the book will follow soon.

I am uncertain as to whether this should be called a second edition of the book or just a revised printing. What is your advice?

Sincerely yours,

Linus Pauling
