  3 June 1963

  Mr. Stanley Schaefer

  W. H. Freeman and Company

  660 Market Street

  San Francisco, California

  Dear Stan:

  I have had a talk with Professor A. Haagen-Smit about the matter of translation of General Chemistry into Dutch.

  Haagen-Smit says that it would not be wise to have the book, in Dutch translation, published by a Belgium firm. He asks, why should not Elsevier, as an outstanding Dutch publisher, be interested in publishing a Dutch translation of the book?

  He feels that Mr. C. G. Hoste may not be a good man to make the translation. In any case, he says that no arrangement should be made for him to make the translation unless it is approved by Professor Havinga or Professor Ketelaar. Both Havinga and Ketelaar worked in our laboratories, a number of years ago. In fact, Havinga or Ketelaar might be able to suggest some better person to do the translation into Dutch, or you might be interested to write to Elsevier, and they might suggest somebody.

  Haagen-Smit was horrified at the suggestion that the chapters on organic chemistry and biochemistry be left out of the Dutch translation. He said that Hoste must be living in the past.

  I have the feeling that the best thing to do about a Dutch translation is to wait until the new edition of General Chemistry has been prepared, and perhaps to have the translation made from the manuscript, rather than to wait for the book to be printed - it could be checked with the printed book, before publication in Holland.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:hpg
