  Dear Dr. Duhl:

  I apologize for the delay in answering your letter of 18 April. It arrived in Pasadena just after I had left for Illinois, and I did not see it until my return yesterday.

  I have no objection to the statement about my plans made on pages 11 and 12 of your letter, especially since I received a letter about two weeks ago from the Ford Foundation saying that the staff of the Foundation would recommend to the traustees that a grant for support of the work for a five-year period be made to the California Institute of Technology. We are accordingly moving along rapidly in preparing for a moderately intensive series of studies in this field.

  I am glad to have the manuscript of your talk. May I ask you to send a reprint of the paper, when it is published? Would you be able to put me down on a list of people receiving publications of the National Institute of Mental Health? I do not try to read the literature in this field, and I think that if I could get publications from you I would be helped in keeping up with the advance of knowledge.

  We have begun an investigation of the amino-acid sequences in the hemoglobin manufactured by phenylketonurics, without any positive results so far.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:W
