Dear Professor Pauling:
I have just received a statement from the Executive Committee authorizing the loan
of certain apparatus and equipment for use in your laboratory under the fellowship
next year.
The apparatus listed includes some of the x-ray tubes, spectrographs, special cameras,
etc. developed here, and also a Weissenberg goniometer purchased from Berger in Boston.
Although bought some time ago, the Weissenberg apparatus has never been set up for
use, and I am hoping that it may find application to some problems which you have
in mind for I should like very much to become familiar with this method of analysis.
I now plan to leave New York about the first of August and to drive across the country
making several stops en route. I hope to be in Pasadena by September first.
If you have any further suggestions concerning my plans or other arrangements, they
will be most welcome.
Very sincerely,
