Letter from Dorothy Wrinch to Linus Pauling. February 9, 1937.
Wrinch writes to express her disappointment at not being able to arrange a meeting during her most recent trip to the U.S. and to suggest that a meeting in early 1938 might be possible, given the support of the Rockefeller Foundation.

Transcript

Lady Margarei Hall,

Oxford

9th February, 1937

Dear Dr. Pauling,

I was very much disappointed that it did not prove possible to visit you during my time in the States. I am, however, still extremely anxious to sit at your feet. I discussed this matter with Dr. Weaver before I left New York and he thought it might be possible to arrange for me to spend a short time at your Institute some time during next winter. May I ask whether you would favour such a proposal. I should also like to consult several people in the genetics department if I came. If you think this scheme would be satisfactory may I ask whether there is any specially favourable month. I think it might be easiest for me to arrange January or February of 1938.

Kind regards,

Sincerely yours,
