  9 July 1958

  Dr. E. C. Kleiderer

  Lilly Research Laboratories

  Indianapolis, Indiana

  Dear Erv:

  I am writing about the possibility of my getting some penicillin from you.

  For about ten years I have been plagued by nearly continuous difficulty with my sinuses. Just as soon as I get my sinuses cleared up, after two or three months, I am apt to come down with another bad cold, and start the sinus trouble again.

  Now my physician has recommended that I go on to a course of penicillin therapy for one year, to see whether this will handle the problem. He is going to have me take one tablet of 400,000 units each day.

  I am writing to you because the retail price of 400 tablets, the amount that I would need for one year, is pretty high. Would it be possible for you to arrange for me to get these tablets, 400,000 units each, any type of penicillin, at a lowered cost?

  I know that this sort of continued penicillin therapy is unusual. My physician has been interested in it, and is publishing a paper on his experience with it in certain types of disease, such as nephritis. Of course, my kidneys seem to be in good shape now, but I think that he is interested in controlling my sinusitis because of possible effect on my kidneys also, in case that the chronic condition continues.

  It was a pleasure for us to see you and Mrs. Kleiderer and the boys last month.

  . Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:w
