[Filed under LP Correspondence: (B: Correspondence, 1955-1957), #38.1]

  • Letter from LP to Ben May, RE: Regarding May's idea on the possible relationship between gastric secretions and sickle cell anemia, LP believes that there has been some work along these lines that has produced negative results. Will write to Dr. Itano about it and will send along anything of interest. Describes his son's progress in the study of psychiatry at the Queen's Hospital in Honolulu. Describes the progress of the Norman Church Laboratory, which is under construction. Requests advice on the matter of funding to outfit the laboratories. Describes the principal work that is to be carried out in the new laboratories. Encloses a copy of his Harvey Lecture, but notes that many developments have been made since it was written. [Filed under LP Correspondence: (M: Individual Correspondence. (Mark, Herman - Mayer)), #244.5]
  • Letter from LP to Dr. David Ginsburg, Technion, Haifa, Israel, RE: Pleased to hear of the success in synthesizing a couple of isocyanides containing charged groups. Would like to investigate their combination with hemoglobins. Requests 5 grams of each. Was disappointed in a study carried out by Dr. Murayama regarding the combination of constants of normal hemoglobin and sickle cell anemia hemoglobin with three isocyanides. Since each of the isocyanides combined with the two hemoglobins with the same avidity, the method of differentiating between the two hemoglobins was a failure. Requests David Samuel's address in England. [Letters from Ginsburg to LP May 29, 1955, June 19, 1955] [Filed under LP Correspondence: (G: Correspondence, 1936-1956)), #140.19]
  • Letter from LP to Dr. R. von Konow, Finland, to LP RE: Von Konow is attacking complicated problems with which LP has not had very much experience.

  • Letter from LP to Professor F.H. Westheimer, Chemistry Dept., Harvard University, RE: Thanks Westheimer for the dibenzylphosphoric acid crystals, which arrived safely. Found that the one phosphoric acid derivative had turned out to be satisfactory. However, will turn Westheimer's crystals over to Dr. Rollett, who will make use of them in connection with the refinement of the structure. [Letter from Westheimer to LP May 20, 1955, Letter from LP to Westheimer August 16, 1955] [Filed under LP Correspondence: (W: Individual Correspondence. (Weichsel - White)), #434.6]

  • Letter from LP to W.D. Love RE: Pleased to learn that W.H. Freeman is being considered for an honorary degree by Hamilton College. LP believes that the quality of books published by W.H. Freeman Co. is higher than that of any other publisher in the textbook field. LP's General Chemistry was the first book published by Freeman's company. The fact that LP chose Freeman's infant company over the existing textbook giants speaks greatly for Freeman's impressive personality and the confidence that he inspires in his friends. In conversations with colleagues, LP finds an unanimous desire among them to have their manuscripts published by Freeman.

  • Letter from Paul Weiss to LP RE: States that the Biology Council of the National Research Council is developing a program aiming at the strengthening and improvement of the internal and external relations of the biological sciences. Informs that the council has become aware of a weakness from inadequate attention to the development of a consistent framework of basic concepts and principles in various branches of life sciences. Informs that a meeting has been called to discuss the issue. Attaches a draft of how the matter might be resolved. [Filed under LP Sciences:(National Research Council, 1950-1992), Box#14.028, Folder#28.1]
  • Letter from Paul Weiss, Chairman, National Academy of Sciences, National Research Council, to LP RE: Invites LP to a three-day roundtable conference on building a framework for basic concepts and principles in Biology. Asks that LP return a card with his preference of the two suggested dates marked. Handwritten note in upper right corner: "6/15/55 Card returned Can't attend Sept 22-24 or Oct 12-14."

  • Letter from Professor Fred T. Wall, William Albert Noyes Laboratory, Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Dept., University of Illinois, to LP RE: Repeats his invitation for LP to visit the University of Illinois next year to give a series of lectures over a period of one or two months.

  • Memo from "Walt" to LP RE: The peptides have arrived from Professor Hermann O. L. Fischer. Requests that LP write to Fischer to thank him. Suggests informing Fischer that it may be a year or two before the samples are returned. No extensive work will be done until various research fellows arrive in September. In addition, they have 14 peptides from Vaughan, so the complete survey of all the samples obtained will be time-consuming. Requests carbons of LP's letter for his file and Dr. Corey's file. [Letter from Fischer to Corey May 31, 1955, Letter from LP to Fischer June 10, 1955] [Filed under LP Correspondence: (F: Correspondence, 1935-1956), #128.20]
