Dear Alex:

I enclose a clipping from the New York Times - you may not have a copy of it.

I sat pleased to learn about the work that you have done. It looks like the outstanding work in organic chemistry during recent years. We all send our congratulations to you.

Also, I hope that you have enjoyed your visit in Australia.

I should look forward to seeing you when I stop in Cambridge, 4 to 7 April, on my way to the Solvay Congress.

Please give my love to Alison.

Cordially,

Linus Pauling:W
