    Shrewsbury, Massachusetts

    Dear Mr. Pincus:

    I have received a lector from Mr. Lewis C. Green, Boatmen's Bank Building, St. Louis 2 (he is an attorney with whom I am associated in a legal case), in which he asks for details about something that I had mentioned to him—the possibility of controlling the sex of human infants by electrophoretic separation of sperm, with one or the other fraction then used for artificial insemination.

    He has asked what progress has been made in this field and whether this kind of control of sex is now a practical possibility for humane.

    I am turning to you for an answer to his question. Would you write to me, or, perhaps even better, directly to him?

    With thanks for your assistance, I am

    Sincerely yours,

    Linus Pauling:lh
