- Letter from Dr. Clifford S. Garner, Department of Chemistry, University of Texas, to LP RE: Replies he turned down an NRDC position offered by Kistiakowsky in Pittsburgh, and has since been corresponding with Giauque about a position at Berkeley. Notes that he telegraphed because that position looked to have disappeared, and he wanted any sort of NDRC work available. Adds that since sending the telegraph he has been given the position at Berkeley with Giauque. Thanks LP for his help.

Dear Dr. Rundle:
I have looked over your manuscript on the platinum alkyl paper, which looks very good to me. Dr. Sturdivant has been so busy that he has not had time even to tell me about its receipt here, and I don't know what can be done about speeding up its publication. Aluminum trimethyl has been reinvestigated here. The job is not completed yet, but it is clear in my opinion that the molecule has the bridge structure.
Dr. Gilman [sic] agents are right in their information that I am feeling much better now. I still have to spend time at home resting in the afternoon, and do not get to hang around the Laboratory as much as I would like, but I try to stick closely to my schedule in the hope that I shall continue to feel better and better.
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling

- Letter from LP to Dr. Raymond J. Woodrow, Technical Aide, Office of Scientific Research and Development. RE: Talked to Dr. Beckman and National Technical Laboratories. Is confident that the lab could begin to produce instruments very quickly. Thinks the best way to negotiate the contract is to have Woodrow come out to California.
