Dear Dr. Platt:
I thank you very much for the fine plaster model of the pi-electron density distribution in naphthalene. It is indeed interesting that this simple treatment works out so well. I remember that I suggested that Herr Direktor Doktor Otto Schmidt make these calculations, when he came to Pasadena over twenty years ago, mainly in order to keep the old fellow happily occupied, and not with the idea that the treatment would have real value.
With best regards, I am
Sincerely yours,
