Dr. Walter Gordy

c/o Mary Hardin-Baylor College

Belton, Texas

Dear Dr. Gordy:

Your plan of work seems satisfactory to me. Professor Badger is just getting his new spectrometer for the 3 μ-region into operation, and with this and the photographic infrared equipment you should be able to get some good work done.

With best wishes, I am,

Sincerely yours,

Linus Pauling
