Dear Paul:

I have checked up with Dr. Dickey about the publication of the adsorption measurements and surface area measurements that Mr. Haldeman made, with the following results.

Dr. Dickey and I believe that it would be better for Mr. Haldeman to publish the results separately. Dr. Dickey would like to be able to refer to the results, and to use the surface area measurements in connection with the publication of his investigations. Moreover, there is another suggestion that we would like to make. Dr. Dickey has prepared some gels that he thinks are better than the earlier ones, and if possible we would like to have Mr. Haldeman make similar measurements with them. I have asked him to send six samples directly to you, with information about them.

I am not sure that I have told you how much pleasure we had, Ava Helen and I, during our trip through the South, because of the fact that you and Leila had preceded us. Everywhere that we went we heard very complementary statements that you had made about us. You paved the way for our visit wonderfully well.

I am looking forward to seeing you in connection with the work of our ONR Committee. I am glad that you are willing to serve on it.

Sincerely yours,

Linus Pauling:ph
