  Mr. James H. McKerrow

  Box 488

  Haverford College

  Haverford, Pa.

  Dear Mr. McKerrow:

  I am pleased to have learned from your letter of 21 April that you have accepted appointment under an NIH grant and are to come to La Jolla soon to begin your graduate work.

  I have talked with Dr. Arthur Robinson, who is my collaborator in the work on the molecular basis of mental disease, about your desire to work in this field.

  The Biology Department in this University has the policy that during their first year graduate students in biology should rotate among different research groups spending six weeks with each of several groups during the period beginning 1 October. It is accordingly possible for you to work with us from 1 July 1968, when you arrive here, until 1 October or perhaps 15 November 1968.

  Dr. Robinson and I look forward to seeing you on your arrival. You should get in touch with Dr. Robinson, when you get here. There is a good chance that I shall be away at that time, but in any case I shall look forward to seeing you a little later on. You can talk with Dr. Robinson about the work to be done, after your arrival here.

  I enclose a reprint of a paper on anesthesia of brine shrimp. We are not carrying on work of this sort at the present time, however.

  Sincerely,

  Linus Pauling
