Mr. Victor Reynolds
Cornell University Press
124 Roberts Place
Ithaca, New York
Dear Mr. Reynolds:
My schedule for the year has been badly upset by unexpected events, especially the trip around the world from which I have recently returned, and I am forced to tell you that I shall not be able to have my manuscript for the third edition of THE NATURE OF THE CHEMICAL BOND ready by 31 December 1955.
May I ask what arrangement would be most satisfactory to you, in view of this circumstance? I think that it would be a mistake for the book to be out of print, even for a short while. I feel that I could arrange my plans for the future in such a way as to have the manuscript in your hands on 1 July 1956, or 1 October 1956, or 31 December 1956, or at some later time, if you prefer. Also, I would be able to read proof with speed and despatch, so that there would not be any delay in publication.
I shall look forward to your reply.
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling:W
- Letter from Persephone Adams to Dr. Frank Weymouth, Citizens Committee to Preserve American Freedoms, RE: Adams' father, Franklin P. Adams, is unable carry on his correspondence due to health problems. However, sends his acceptance of having his name on the friendship scroll to be presented to LP at the dinner honoring him on June 4. [Filed under LP Speeches: 1955s.13]
