  11 February 1963

  Dr. Max Kleiber

  University of Hawaii

  Honolulu, Hawaii

  Dear Dr. Kleiber:

  Your letter and a recent talk that I had with Dr. Richard T. Jones have suggested to me that I write to you about him.

  A year or two ago I recommended to the University of Hawaii that Dr. Jones be offered an appointment. Dr. Jones was an undergraduate student in the California Institute of Technology, who then went to medical school, obtaining his M.D. degree from the University of Oregon. He interned in the University of Pennsylvania and returned to Pasadena, in order to carry on research under my general direction, on the chemistry of the abnormal hemoglobins. He has made important contributions in this field. He received his Ph.D. degree in chemistry here.

  Dr. Jones is now an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the University of Oregon (Portland) in Dr. Osgood's department. I have the feeling that he is not entirely happy. He mentioned to me that he missed the scientific atmosphere of the California Institute of Technology, I know that the scientific atmosphere of the California Institute of Technology is not to be found in the University of Hawaii, but there is a possibility that Dr. Jones could be attracted to Honolulu, if he were given a good offer, with support that would permit him to build up his own department in the field of molecular biology and medicine.

  I have a very high opinion of Dr. Jones, from the personal as well as the scientific side, and if you are going to recommend that somebody be given an appointment in Honolulu, you might well wish to consider him.

  Cordially yours,
