Dear Dave:

We agree with you regarding the existence of peaks between minima. I might point out that these peaks can be interpreted as due to the maxima between the minima, inasmuch as the interaction between the broad flat maxima is at a maximum a distance equal to the distance between the minima.

Corey and I probably shall not publish any criticism of the Wrinch-Langmuir stuff, even though we feel that agreement reached with the aid of so many arbitrary assumptions has little significance.

We are hoping to make a positive contribution in the field some time.

I am having one of the old Laue tubes shipped to you, and I hope you find good use for it.

With best regards, I am

Sincerely yours,

Linus Pauling
