Dear Dr. Williams:
Since returning to Pasadena I have discussed with Dr. Koepfli and Dr. Campbell the possibility of your making a visit to Pasadena, for consultation with us about our work on blood substitutes. They are very much interested in this possibility, and I accordingly urge that you make this visit to Pasadena, if you find it possible. I shall be here until about the 5th or 10th of March, and any time between now and then would be satisfactory.
With best wishes, I am
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling
