Dear Professor Pauling:

I was very happy indeed to receive your kind letter granting me the privilege of working in your laboratory next year. I am sending a copy to Dr. Gasser so that the Rockefeller Institute may carry out whatever arrangements are necessary here.

I appreciate your suggestions concerning the apparatus which I might bring with me. As soon as I have opportunity to talk the matter over with Dr. Wyckoff and Dr. Gasser I shall be able to let you know just what this may comprise.

I am looking forward to a very pleasant and profitable year in Pasadena and shall certainly arrive in ample time to get established before you leave for Ithaca.

Very Sincerely Yours,

Robert b. Corey
