- Letter from LP to Dr. T.H. Benzinger, Naval Medical Research Institute, National Naval Medical Center, RE: Valuable information about biological and physical chemical processes can be obtained from measurements of heats of reaction.

- Letter from LP to Dr. W.G. Schneider, Division of Pure Chemistry, National Research Council, RE: Does not think it necessary to publish a correction in the Journal of Chemical Physics, stating that the seeds of many of Schneider's ideas are contained in LP's book. Sorry to hear that Schneider was unable to publish his ideas on intramolecular hydrogen bonds on the grounds that they were too controversial. If Schneider has discovered something new in the field, and has evidence, it should be published.

- Letter from LP to W.H. Freeman, W.H. Freeman and Company, Publishers, RE: Huennekens and Mahler have contributed significantly to the field of biological oxidations. Cannot tell whether the book will be a well-written one until he has seen the manuscript. The first three chapters would give the answer. Offers to look over the manuscript after Freeman receives it. Professor Carl Niemann mentioned that he thought the field deserved a small monograph, hardly a full-sized book.
