Dr. Karl Landsteiner
Newfane, Vermont
Dear Dr. Landsteiner:
I am looking forward to receiving the serum and antigens, and shall let you know about our results as soon as they have been obtained. I shall be very glad also to have your comments on my manuscript.
Dr. Max Delbruck and I have made a study of Jordan's papers, and have written a brief criticism which is to be published in Science. I am enclosing a copy for you to read.
We have synthesized haptens with three phenyl arsinic acid residues attached to resorcinol and phloroglucinol, and are now working to fasten four residues together. I am anxious to see whether these will have antigenic action.
With best regards to you and Mrs. Landsteiner, I am
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling
