Mr. Ben May
P.O. Box 1186
Mobile 7, Alabama
Dear Mr. May:
I thank you for your letter of 7 January. We have had a few patients under study with sickle cell anemia who were classed as Caucasians. I doubt that it is worth while for us to try to get in touch with the man in Diablo - this town is about 450 miles away, and the number of non-Negro sickle cell anemia patients is large enough so that another case seems to me not to be important.
I have heard about the relative immunity of Negroes to yellow fever, which you mention in your letter. I do not know what the explanation is. It may possibly be similar to the apparent immunity of people in India and Egypt to poliomyelitis. It has been found that this immunity is only apparent, in that the infants seem always to get the disease, usually in a light form, and hence to develop immunity to it in the normal way.
With best regards, I am
Sincerely yours,
Dictated by Linus Pauling
