- Letter from LP to Walter Drost-Hansen, Research Engineer, RE: Responds to his letter from last April and disagrees with his suggestions on the change in the structure of water.

Recommends that he graph energy of vaporization of water against temperature and not the energy of vaporization against the specific volume.
