Dear Dr. Oster:
Thanks for your letter of 3 February.
The point that you raise - that you do not feel that the equatorial spacings will be markedly altered whether one assumes seven parallel rods or six rods twisted around a central rod — is an interesting one. I would be inclined to agree with you, except for a contradictory fact. Crick has written that our expression is the first term in the complete expression for the seven-strand helical cable, which he has evaluated, and, since our expression differs from yours, the two approximate form factors do seem to be different.
I am interested to learn about the work that you are carrying on.
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling:W
