Dr. James B. Conant
National Defense Research Committee
1530 P Street NW.
Washington, D.C.
Dear Dr. Conant:
We are sending today fifteen copies of our formal report entitled "The Development and Construction of a Simple, Rugged, Light-weight Instrument for Measuring and Indicating the Partial Pressure of Oxygen in a Mixture of Gases" and in addition the mimeograph stencils and negatives of photographs. I have burned the carbon paper, faulty mimeograph sheets, and original manuscript of the report. I trust that you will find the report satisfactory.
Our work on the apparatus continues to give satisfactory results. The only feature of it which has disappointed me somewhat is that our progress has been somewhat slower than I had expected.
I have been glad to learn from the newspapers that you have returned safely from your visit abroad. My wife and I were very happy to have seen Mrs. Conant when we were in Cambridge.
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling
