Dear Dr. Baudisch:
I was very sorry to learn from Dr. S.S. Penner that you have been ill, and that your illness became worse during your trip to Czechoslovakia. I am writing to send you my best wishes, and my hope for an early recovery for you.
I hope that when you return to America you will find it possible sometime to make a visit to the Pacific Coast, and to come and see our laboratories.
I have a student now working on the state of the hemoglobin in the blood of patients with sickle cell disease. This seems to be a very interesting problem, because the sickling of the erythrocytes seems to be determined by the state of combination of the hemoglobin.
With best wishes to you for a rapid recovery,
I am
Sincerely yours,
[Linus Pauling]
