Dr. W. Albert Noyes

Office of Scientific Research and Development

1530 P Street NW

Washington, D.C.

Dear Albert:

The other day Farinholt was telling me about a report which you have and which, I understand, he has read. This report deals with experiments carried out in Germany on the resistance of human subjects to cooling of the body and then warming in different ways.

I would like very much to read this report. Could you arrange to have a copy sent to me, or, if not, could you tell me who is in charge of the report.

I am glad to say that our Division 8 work has turned out very well, and that Richard has made an excellent contribution throughout his services. It seems likely that we shall continue for another year under a contract with the Bureau of Ordnance. It might, however, be possible to let Richard go, in case that he wants to leave for a good offer, and I think that two or three universities are now interested in him.

Sincerely yours,

Linus Pauling
