Prof. Pauling

Dept. of Chemistry

Cornell University

Ithaca, New York, U.S.A.

Dear Professor Pauling,

I am making plans to arrive in New York on January 24th. I hope very much to have the opportunity of several talks with you if you can spare me the time. I have been working specially on denaturation of proteins and there are many points here which I would like to discuss with you. There are alto other matters relating to other tendencies of the protein problem.

Dr. Weaver tells me that he has lately seen you and that you will be leaving Ithaca rather soon after my arrival. If I come straight to Ithaca, say on January 25th or 26th, would you still be there for another week or two? Please let me know how I can best fit in with your convenience.

I shall be starting work with Dr. Langnuir as soon as I leave Ithaca or I might even, as Mrs. Langmuir has suggested, come over to Ithaca from Schenectady.

I shall wait to make my plans until I hear from you.

Yours very sincerely,
