  3 October 1956

  Prof. Hardin Jones

  Dormer Laboratory

  University of California

  Berkeley, California

  Dear Professor Jones:

  I was greatly impressed by the seminar talk that you gave in the California Institute of Technology on 24 January 1956. I learned more from your talk than, I think, I have learned from any other seminar talk during recent years.

  I am writing now to ask you to tell me what you have published along the lines of your talk - about the Gumpertz curve, about the shift in the curve due to smoking of cigarettes, and about the shift due to radiation damage. If you have reprints of papers, I hope that you can send them to me. Perhaps you could give me references to publications of other people that are significant here, without putting yourself to too much effort. If you have prepared a manuscript for publication that covers part of your seminar talk, and have an extra copy, I should be pleased to see it -please let me know what the conditions about public release are. I may say that I made a good number of notes during your seminar talk, and have found those notes valuable in connection with my own thinking about radiation damage.

  With best regards, I am

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:W
