April 19, 1937
Dr. Carl Niemann
Rockefeller Institute
New York, New York
Dear Dr. Niemann:
I was very glad to learn from Professor Millikan that you had accepted the position
ultimately offered to you, and I am looking forward with much enthusiasm to the time
when you will take up residence here.
You have perhaps heard by this time that I have been appointed Chairman of the Division
and Director of the Laboratories, and that application has been made to the Rockefeller
Foundation for a grant permitting further development of our work in organic chemistry.
I also wrote to Weaver a few days ago requesting that you be granted a training fellowship
for the year July 1, 1937 to July 1, 1938, to permit you to visit and study in European
laboratories and also to complete your work with Dr. Bergmann. The Institute, will,
of course, bring the stipend and expense account allotted to you up to the sum provided
for in your appointment to our staff. I would like to know what your plans are in
detail regarding the coming year.
All of the members of the family join me in sending greetings to you.
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauline
