Dear Paul:
Dr. Herbert A. Pohl has written for a job. He seems to be interested in chromatographic analysis, and, although there is not much chance that we can use him, I am checking up on him. I would be very glad to have your opinion of him. He says that he worked for you for a year and a half.
I am thinking of having some work done after the war on the adsorption of water vapor and other polar gases by proteins. You probably have seen Bull's recent paper in the JACS. I may publish a short note on the subject.
We are all getting along well, with, however, too much to do. Ava Helen has had fine results with her vegetable garden this year. She worked last winter as a chemist for Haagen-Smit in the Biology Department, but she has been too busy recently to do this work. Young Linus is now in Florida, at Boca Raton. He has been in the Air Corps for nearly a year.
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling
