September 17, 1936
Mr. Richard Dodson
Brashear, Mo.
Dear Dodson:
I returned your three books to Catherine MacMillan, who fell on my neck on seeing them again, and promised that she would erase the hard thoughts about you that she had been having.
Coryell is going to ship your pipes to you today. He will try first to get the Institute to pay the postage, and if he is unsuccessful he will tap me for the rest of the dollar. I think that he is even hoping to get Mrs. Lassettre to wrap them up.
I expect that you have heard about the drowning of Emerson Green in Michigan. It is surely terrible that such a fine fellow should have lost his life.
I have remembered you to Coryell who also remembered you to me.
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling
