Mrs. Irene Eastman
1703 - 4th Avenue No.
Grand Forks, N.D.
Dear Mrs. Eastman:
In answer to your letter, about the fluorescence on beef kidneys that you have noticed, I have to say that I am not at all sure that I can tell you what the explanation is. However, I think that it is likely that the fluorescence is the result of some normal biological phenomenon, probably a little bacterial surface growth.
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling:w
