Dr. G. B. Heisig
Institute of Technology
School of Chemistry
Minneapolis 14, Minn.
Dear Dr. Heisig:
My answer to your letter of October 8 has been delayed, in part by my absence on a trip, and in part by my difficulty in getting caught up in work after my return.
The point that you raise about the tervalent oxidation state of nickel is a very good one. I had tried to check back on the source of my information in writing my freshman text, and I regret to say that the older sources that I used were not checked by me before the book was published. I shall make the change in the book as soon as possible, and I express my thanks to you for raising this point.
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling:W
