  • Letter from Louis P. Hammett, Columbia University, to LP RE: Interested in LP's systemization of inorganic chemistry formulae which LP is accomplishing. Points out a small error in one of LP's articles published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society in which LP suggests a formula for antimonates. Hammett states that he suggested the formula and was published by McGraw-Hill in 1929, but is not concerned about the claim for priority, just the LP should know. Suggests LP extend his principles to the ammonia compounds studied by Franklin and Bergstrom, explains why, and gives two formulae. [Filed under LP Personal Safe: Drawer 3, Folder 3.018.103]
  • Note from Lindsay Helmholz to LP RE: Mentions Dr. Mayer's letter of May 9, 1933 which asked if there was room for Helmholz at Pasadena and that LP replied there was.
