- Letter from Frank Aydelotte, Institute for Advanced Study, to LP RE: Discusses the times that LP proposed that they meet,
either in February or April. Discusses the Rhodes scholars for 1951. States that he is sorry Peter is having problems and
writes that everything related to undergraduate transfers between the U.S. and England is difficult. [Letters from LP to Aydelotte,
December 1, 1950 and December 14, 1950] [Filed under LP Correspondence: (Aydelotte, Frank, 1940-1955), #6.21]
- Letter from LP to Lev Akobjanoff RE: Reurns Akobjanoff’s manuscript on polysulfide elastomers and encloses a reprint of his
own on a similar subject. Gives his comments and suggestions concerning Akobjanoff’s report. [Letter from Akobjanoff November 28, 1950] [Filed under LP Correspondence: (A: Correspondence, 1950), #12.16]
- Letter from LP to Ralph Hultgren, Division of Mineral Technology, University of California, Berkeley, RE: Asks for powder
photographs of phosphorus and red phosphorus which are referred to in Hultgren’s paper with Gingrich and Warren. States that
Dr. M Simonetta and he are publishing a paper on phosphorus. [Letter from Hultgren to LP, December 20, 1950] [Filed under LP Correspondence: (Hultgren, Ralph), #163.3]
- Letter from LP to John W. Harris, Thorndike Memorial Laboratory, Boston City Hospital, RE: Asks him whether he is confident
that the birefringent aggregates he obtained were indeed tactoids rather than crystals, as reported in his paper in the October
issue of the Proceedings of the Society for Experimental Biology. LP also discusses their research in sickle cell anemia at Caltech. [Filed under LP Correspondence: (H: Correspondence, 1950),
#166.1]
- Note from J. A. Hedvall to LP RE: Thanks LP for the letter and discusses his visit to Pasadena. States that he still hopes
to meet LP personally and talks about upcoming stops on his tour. Discusses his lecture and states that he thinks it would
have been better to give two lectures. [Filed under LP Correspondence: (Eli Lilly and Company), #111.4]
- Letter from LP to N.V. Sidgwick, Lincoln College, RE: Updates him on the new discoveries in their laboratories. Explains how
it is possible to convert white phosphorus into red phosphorus and discusses the process by which he saw it take place. States
that this information will enable him to predict the structure of red phosphorus and how it can be converted into black phosphorus.

- Letter from LP to Charles W. Tucker, Research Laboratory, General Electric, RE: Explains the history of the work on the structure
of the sigma phase of uranium. [Letter from Tucker to LP, November 25, 1950] [Filed under LP Correspondence: (T: Correspondence, 1950), #410.15]
- Letter from LP to Miss Margaret D. Cameron, Department of Chemistry at the Tulane University of Louisiana, RE: Encloses a
blank that she may use to apply for a post-doctoral fellowship at CIT. Explains that they have a few fellowships under the
supervision of the Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at CIT and that most of their post-doctoral fellows are
there with the support from outside groups. Says that they also have some funds for research carried out by staff members
and that they sometimes appoint post-doctoral fellows to assist with the research of these staff members. [Handwritten note
from Cameron to LP, November 9, 1950] [Filed under LP Biographical: Academia: (CIT: Materials re: Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, 1946-1956.),
