Dear Mrs. Landsteiner:
It is with a feeling of very great personal loss that I have learned of the death of Dr. Landsteiner. He has been one of the great men of our age not only in his own contributions to science and human welfare but also in his influence on other people, and especially on younger scientists. My own debt to him is very great - my work in recent years not only has been based on Dr. Landsteiner's researches, but also resulted directly from his direct inspiration and encouragement.
I extend to you, dear Mrs. Landsteiner, my heartfelt
sympathy.
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling
