- Letter from Archie Doran to LP RE: Requests a copy of the key to the exercises in LP's College Chemistry, 1951 edition. Will remit the cost upon receiving the key. Doran is studying chemistry on his own. Invites LP and AHP to visit Doran and his wife at Chapman Camp in British Columbia. Describes their summer cabin and the famous mine nearby.

- Letter from Dean J.R. Little, University of Colorado, to LP RE: Invites LP to lecture during the University of Colorado's Lecture Series in the Natural Sciences in the summer of 1956. Propose to invite six or seven leading scientists for one or two weeks each during the summer. Gives details about stipend and dates. [Letter from LP to Little December 5, 1955] [Filed under LP Correspondence: (L: Correspondence, 1955-1960), #231.1]
- Letter from Dr. John R. Pierce, Bell Telephone Laboratories, to LP RE: Has been writing a book, Electrons, Waves, and Messages, which will be published about February 1956. DuBridge and Ed Purcell both have bound galleys of the book so that they can make comments for the publisher; Pierce did not ask for LP's comments because LP's field is different and he did not want to bother LP. LP's increasing interest in the application of chemistry to the problems of biology and medicine parallels Pierce's increasing interest in evaluating user preference of various devices and of relations between information theory and the rate of acquisition and rate of processing of information by humans. LP's letter was particularly welcome because Pierce is recovering from an operation and sometimes gets bored.

Dr. Andreas B. Rechnitzer
Scripps Institution of Oceanography
La Jolla, California
Dear Dr. Rechnitzer:
I am sorry that you were not able to be present at the symposium on molecular structure and biological specificity. There was not very much announcement made of the symposium. The Office of Naval Research got in touch with people that they thought might be interested, and finally had to limit attendance to 200, because of the size of the available room.
It is planned to publish an account of the symposium. I am sure that the Office of Naval Research or the Institute of Biological Sciences will advertise this book as soon as it is available, which probably will be in about one year.
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling:W
- Letter from LP to Dr. B.L. Kabacoff RE: Does not think that he should write an article on "Science in Asia," as Kabacoff requested. Already has too many obligations and has relatively little experience in Asia. [Letter from Kabacoff to LP, November (general)] [Filed under LP Correspondence: (K: Correspondence, 1936-1956), #200.20]
- Letter from LP to Dr. John Leo Abernethy, Physical Sciences Dept., California State Polytechnic College RE: As requested, Abernethy has been added to the Caltech mailing list. Beatrice Wulf will keep Abernethy informed of Caltech news material that would be of interest to chemistry teachers. [Filed under LP Correspondence: (A: Correspondence), #12.21]
