Dear Leslie:
I have spoken several times to Verner Schomaker about getting a report to you on the electron diffraction results that are available here but not yet published, and he has said each time that he is getting the list together and will send it to you.
I was sorry that Sidgwick had to postpone his visit. Perhaps it will be possible for him to make it later on.
With best regards, I am
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling:W
P.S. The American Chemical Society is keeping me pretty busy right now. I have been trying to work up some of the ideas that I had while in Oxford, in order to publish them, but things move rather slowly. At the present time I have the manuscript of a paper on dissociation energies of diatomic molecules and the valence states of atoms prepared, but I shall have to revise it before publication. LP.
