Dear Dr. Miller:
We would he very glad to have, for use in the teaching of chemistry at the California Institute of Technology, the collection of samples and chemical derived from coal tar and coal tar products mentioned in your letter of November 17.
If one of these displays is available for us, please send it to Professor Linus Pauling, Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena 4, California.
Very truly yours,
Linus Pauling
