April 1, 1942
Dear Drs. Gordy and Saylor:
I am enclosing copies of the manuscript on "The Propargyl Halides". Because of the press of other work, the manuscript on the aluminum compounds is not yet ready.
Things have not changed much here since you left, except that there is still more war work being done. The only bad news is that there was an explosion a few days ago in the Kellogg Radiation Laboratory, which killed one of the assistants.
I shall let you know later about how the aluminum compound turns out.
Sincerely yours,
[Linus Pauling]
