  Dr. Arthur Cherkin

  Veterans Administration Hospital

  Sepulveda, California

  Dear Art:

  Thanks for sending me the paper on Barbiturate Acid Depression, and for your letter.

  With respect to the work of McGowan, I should point out to you (although it is probably unnecessary) that the parachor is essentially a molecular volume, and, since the molecular polarizability is proportional, in a rough way, to the molecular volume, any relation that is found to hold with the parachor probably will hold just about as well with the molecular polarizability or mole refraction.

  I doubt that I should take time to look at your manuscript, because I am going to be so busy getting ready for our European trip (we leave on October 12). If there is any point that you feel you should question me about, why don't you telephone?

  I am walking now without a cane, although I use the cane to some extent, to remind me to be careful. I think that my fracture has healed, and that my limp is the result of muscular weakness.

  Cordially,

  Linus Pauling
