Dr. A. C. Claus
105 Lancaster Street
Mount Prospect, Illinois
Dear Dr. Claus:
I am pleased to have your letter of 8 May. I send here with a copy of the paper and the figures. You will note that Professor Bergman made very little change in your manuscript.
I hope that you will check the manuscript at once. I feel that it would be a shame if a good account of this work were not published. In particular, I am somewhat worried about the uncertainty in the values of the z parameters— it might require a good bit of work to eliminate this uncertainty.
Here let me remind you of the suggestion I made that Dr. Samson be asked if he would he willing to work on this paper. I am not sure that he would, but he has so much interest in intermetallic compounds and so much energy; as well as experience, that it might be worth while, unless you are able to devote the effort to it that is needed.
With best regards, I am
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling:jh
