Dr. Reuben E. Wood
Maryland Research Laboratories
P. O. Box 2706
Washington 13, D.C.
Dear Reuben:
My wife and I were very interested to hear from you, and we hope that you will write to us again.
I talked with Dr. Hogness by telephone while in Chicago and saw Pitzer in Pittsburgh, and in this way I learned something about the work that your group is doing. Best wishes for its satisfactory outcome.
I shall look forward to receiving the final report from you. You will be interested to know that Sir Robert Robinson when he was here said that he had brought an urgent message from the Admiralty to speed up the two hundred submarine-type instruments which they have ordered. I am afraid, however, that the order has not yet reached Dr. Beckman.
I hope that later on, perhaps at the end of the war, it will be possible for you to spend a year at the Institute on work in pure science, especially along the lines of the study of magnetic properties which we discussed long ago. It has been a great source of satisfaction to me to have you working in our Laboratories.
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling
