- Letter from Fernando L. Carraro to LP RE: Invites LP to visit Brazil. Regrets having to leave Caltech. Hopes that he did not cause too much trouble, particularly while he was sick. Requests forgiveness for the silly telegram which he now wishes had never reached LP. Spent a month at the seashores and another month in the mountains. Now works at the Technological Institute of Rio Grande, in charge of a powder x-ray unit. Might be possible to adapt a Weissenberg camera to the unit and continue the structural determination work of CsClBrI started at Caltech. Has no definitive plans for the future. Has written to Battelle Memorial Institute, which plans to establish a research laboratory in Brazil. Has given LP's name as a reference.

- Letter from LP to Hugh Wilson RE: Does not see how Wilson's theory that the universe is filled with unitrons could be subjugated to any experimental test.

- Letter from LP to Jean Sanford, W.H. Freeman and Company, RE: Wonders whether Dr. Allen's letter meant what Sanford said it did. Sure that Allen would know that the answer sheets for the new edition of College Chemistry are not available yet. Allen was probably referring to answer sheets for the first edition, and perhaps also for General Chemistry. Will prepare the answer sheet for the second edition in the near future. [Filed under LP Books: (College Chemistry: An Introductory Textbook of General Chemistry, Second Edition), #1955b.2]
- Letter from LP to Professor E.C. Kemble, Department of Physics, Harvard University, RE: Received the paper entitled "Specific Forces between Macro-molecules" by Professor Herbert Jehle. LP returns the manuscript to Kemble and sends a copy of this letter to Mary D. Alexander. Interested in the work that Jehle has been doing. Due to the high fee charged to non-members for publications over three pages in the Proceedings, LP suggests that Jehle look for some other place in which to publish the manuscript. In any case, the decision is not up to LP, for he resigned as chairman of the Editorial Board; Wendell Stanley has accepted the job.
