  November 13, 1947

  Mr. Joseph Halle Schaffner

  3 Riverview Terrace

  New York, New York

  Dear Joe:

  It was a great disappointment to me (and also to Ava Helen) not to see you at the time of the Princeton meeting last month. We had been hoping that you would be there—not only to have the pleasure of seeing you, but also in order that the Emergency Committee could profit by your enthusiasm and wisdom.

  I also telephoned your home when we were in New York after the Princeton meeting, but got no answer—this was the middle of October, on Saturday, when you without doubt were away. I had tried to get you by phone when we passed through New York on our way back from England, at the end of July, but without success. Our stay in New York at that time was for only a few hours, because our crossing of the Atlantic by air was delayed for three days, and our train reservations had originally been made to permit us a three-day stay in New York.

  Did you see Mr. Henry Usborne, M.P., when he was in the United States last month? I am feeling enthusiastic about him and the World Movement for World Federal Government that he and some fellow M.P.'s have devised. This plan of theirs offers a chance for immediate action, thus differing from other world government plans.

  Ava Helen and I and the three younger children are expecting to sail for England on December 26. I have been upset for two days now, trying to decide whether I should go early to England or not. A letter came two days ago saying that The Royal Society would present the Davy Medal to me at 2:30 P.M. on December 1, and expressing the hope that I could be present. The decision as to whether I shall fly over next week is not yet made, but it seems likely that our original plans will not be changed. It will be hard enough for me to get all of my work here done before leaving in December.

  [page 2]

  I am sending you under separate cover a copy of my new textbook for college freshmen. I hope that you find a chance to read a bit of it, and that you find it interesting.

  Cordially yours,

  Linus Pauling:par

  Dear Bob:

  I have read your manuscript on "A New Interpretation of Interstitial Compounds" with much interest. It sounds very good to me, and I do not have many comments to make.

  As to your suggestion that the two-thirds bonds formed by a light atom involve two sp hybrid orbitals and then the other two p orbitals, it seems to me that this may well be reasonable. I suppose that a two-thirds bond might well be best described from resulting from resonance between an sp bond and a pure p bond. Of course, the extent to which such a detailed description of a resonating structure has meaning is not very clear, and until further useful applications of the general idea have been made we cannot be sure that the idea is worth while.

  On page 8, reference 7, the date of the second edition of my book is given as 1942. It should be 1940 - I think that the Cornell University Press may have changed the date line in some of its later printings, but there was no revision whatever after 1940, and 1940 is accordingly the right date.

  Would it not be just as easy to combine Tables 1 and 2 into a single table? It would be more convenient for the reader, I think, who, when he referred to the table for a value of an interatomic distance, would immediately see the structure to which it refers.

  You may not have noticed that the argument which you give beginning at the bottom of page 15 on the importance of the metal-metal bonds in determining structure is essentially the same argument that I used in my J.A.C.S. paper for explaining the assumption of the nickel arsenide structure by AuSn rather than the sodium chloride structure.

  I agree completely with you that often the bond numbers calculated by the straightforward application of my rule to observed interatomic distances are too large in some cases. I have made a big

  [page 2]

  collection of crystal structures in which it is necessary to assume that only the strong bonds really have the bond numbers indicated by their distances, the somewhat longer distances being merely incidental to the bond structure. I may mention that in some of these crystals the interatomic distances that actually correspond to bonds are those between like atoms, and not those between unlike atoms, as in the cases discussed by you. Consequently, I think that it cannot be said as a rule the bonds are formed between unlike atoms.

  I trust that you will continue with work in this field, and in particular also with experimental studies of these substances.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:w

  P.S. I have gathered together a large amount of material on the interpretation of reported crystal structures, some of which I hope to get published during the coming year. - L.P.

  Minneapolis 14, Minn.

  Dear Dr. Heisig:

  My answer to your letter of October 8 has been delayed, in part by my absence on a trip, and in part by my difficulty in getting caught up in work after my return.

  The point that you raise about the tervalent oxidation state of nickel is a very good one. I had tried to check back on the source of my information in writing my freshman text, and I regret to say that the older sources that I used were not checked by me before the book was published. I shall make the change in the book as soon as possible, and I express my thanks to you for raising this point.

  Sincerely yours,
