- Letter from Ernest Becker, Department of Chemistry, Polytechnic Institute of Boston, to LP RE: States that he wrote Dr. Hirschfelder
because the Fischer-Hirschfelder models are incapable of making a cyclopentadiene for a fulvene ring. States that he was advised
to write LP about the inter-atomic distances in fulvenes and cyclopentadienes. Inquires if LP has any data on the fulvene
nucleus. There is a handwritten note in black pen in the left margin: “Verner - What would you say? LP.” [Letter from LP to
Schomaker February 3, 1951, Letter from LP to Becker April 9, 1951] [Filed under LP Correspondence: (B: Correspondence, 1951), #37.18]
- Letter from M. Vernon King, Department of Physics, Pennsylvania State College, to LP RE: Asks for LP’s aid and advice. King’s
research fellowship was terminated “for reasons of loyalty.” King thinks he suspected to be a member of the Communist Party.
He is searching for a new job that is not supported by federal funds. [Letters from LP to King December 28, 1950, January 26, 1951] [Filed under LP Correspondence: (King, Vernon M.), #198.11]

a manuscript of his talk at Wayne University; however, he might not be able to do so before the lecture. Asks when the deadline
is and how many words the manuscript should be. States that LP will be able to prepare an abstract before the lecture. [Letters

Progress Report. BW.” [Memo from Gilmore to LP September 6, 1950, Memo from LP to Green February 1, 1951] [Filed under LP Science: (United States Public Health Service: “X-Ray Diffraction Investigations of the Structure of Protein
Molecules,” grant RG 1987, [changed to H-2143 (Chemistry 1950)], 1948-1958), Box #14.041, Folder #41.1]
