Letter from Arthur B. Lamb, Editor, JACS, to LP RE: Requests LP review two manuscripts by Dr. Rundle. Encloses the comments of Drs. West and Edsall, who have already reviewed the papers. (Note under text: "Ed: Would you be good enough to look this over for me?

Letter from Dr. Leonor Michaelis, Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, to LP RE: Thanks LP for his comments on Michaelis' measurements with ferric hydroxide. Discusses further results and asks if LP feels it alright to omit low temperature measurements from the investigation as they currently have no access to the proper equipment.

Dear Professor Lamb:

I recommend publication of the manuscript "The Structural Effects of Unsaturation and Hyperconjugation, etc." by Hurdis and Smyth, with the suggestion that the Authors consider the following remarks.

1. Page 14. I have not understood the remark in the middle of the page, and I wonder if in line 8 the word acetaldehyde should be replaced by propionaldehyde.

2. Page 17. Some words seem to have been left out in line 7 from the bottom.

Yours truly,

Linus Pauling
