Dear Professor Taylor
I too would be very glad to see the nomination of E. B. Wilson for the Langmuir Award renewed. Because of the distance from here to Cambridge, and my inability to obtain seven copies of reprints, etc, as well as the probable gaps in my information regarding Wilson's recent work, it seems to me that it would be more appropriate if the nomination this year were to be prepared and submitted by someone at or near Harvard. Do you know of anyone to whom we could suggest this action? If no one at Harvard seems suitable, I feel that it might be wise if you yourself were to prepare the nomination. I shall, of course, be very glad to assist in any way, and in case that you feel that my suggestion is not appropriate, I should do my best to prepare a suitable nomination myself.
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling
