24 September 1954
Mr. Max Hoffman
Industrial Home for the Blind
1000 Atlantic Avenue
Brooklyn 30, N.Y.
Dear Mr. Hoffman:
In answer to your letter, I must say that the problem of finding a cream that will remove hair is a really difficult one. I do not think that it would be possible easily to improve the preparation that you mention in your letter, which has a bad smell.
Let me mention, however, that one member of our staff has pointed out to me that an electric shaver should be perfectly satisfactory for a sightless person to use. An electric shaver is safe, and I should think that it would do the job.
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling:W
