  15 January 1963

  Professor Walter J. Moore

  Department of Chemistry

  Indiana University

  Bloomington, Indiana

  Dear Walter:

  I was happy to receive your letter. First, it gives me an opportunity to tell you how highly I value your book on physical chemistry. I feel that you have to be classed in the top group of writers of textbooks in the whole country. I find that I take pleasure, despite my rather considerable knowledge of the subject matter, in reading your book.

  I am also pleased that you are planning to shift into the field of molecular mechanisms of memory and instinct. This is a difficult field. I have had trouble during the past two or three years in thinking of worthwhile experiments to carry out in connection with my molecular theory of general anesthesia. I may say that I am rather doubtful that nucleic acid is involved in memory — it is, of course, involved in instinct.

  I think that you should spend some time checking up on what other people are doing. In particular, a visit to the Brain Research Institute at UCLA would be well worth while. If you do visit UCLA, you ought to spend a day or two with us.

  Cordially yours,

  Linus Pauling:lh
