  New York City, New York

  Dear Warren:

  I am pleased to learn from your letter of June 2nd that it is probable that the section of your Executive Committee will release funds for the year 1938-1939 up to $70,000.00. In preparing our budget for next year we had great difficulty in estimating the amounts which would be needed for the first years work, and it will be convenient for us to have some leeway in regard to the sums expended. The present estimates are unchanged and indicate that approximately $60,000 will be needed.

  We are now nicely settled in the new Crellin Laboratory, and our work is progressing very satisfactorily. I have decided to make an intensive attack on the problem of the separation of amino acids and polypeptides in protein hydrolysates, and we have begun a thorough investigation of the possibility of using the chromatographic technique in this work.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling

  Professor Edward Mack, Jr.

  Department of Chemistry

  University of North Carolina

  Raleigh, North Carolina

  I am writing to let you know that an unusually well trained man is looking for a teaching and research appointment in this country. This is Dr. G. C. Hampson, who is now completing his second year as a Commonwealth Fellow. Dr. Hampson is a very able man and has had very good training in several branches of structural chemistry. He has been expecting to receive a tutorial appointment at one of the Oxford Colleges but he and I have just learned that through some combination of circumstances the appointment was given to another man. I have received a letter from Sutton at Oxford in which he says that many people at Oxford feel that this was a mistake and that Hampson should have been kept on. I have talked with Hampson about the question of his future and find that he would be glad to stay in America. His training would fit him for appointment as Assistant Professor but I think that he might accept an instructorship. He is planning to leave here early in July.

  Hampson was brought up near Manchester and then went to Oxford where he received the degrees of B.A. and B.Sc. in 1932 with first class honors. He then was given the degree of D. Phil. in 1934. From 1932-1934 he was Junior Research Fellow of Oriel College, from 1934 to 1936 Ramsay Memorial Fellow and from 1936 to 1938 Commonwealth Fellow. He spent the last two years here in our laboratory except for one semester at Cornell University.

  His researches, carried out in association with Professor Sidgwick and Sutton and others at Oxford, have been largely on dipole moments and electron diffraction and x-ray diffraction. While here he has completed an interesting electron diffraction investigation of gas molecules and the x-ray study of some crystals with groups of seven atoms around a central atom. I have a very high opinion of his intellectual ability, and I am sure that he will be a successful research man. He has a very pleasant personality, and is cooperative and congenial. Although he has not had much experience with undergraduate instruction in America, I am sure that he would fit in well and would do a good job.

  I am enclosing a list of his publications.

  With best regards, I am

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling

  Dear Professor Millikan:

  The accompanying report regarding the water problem of Ralph B. Lloyd has been prepared by Dr. Buchman. I believe that it tells as much as can be told from the analysis alone.

  Sincerely yours,

  Dear Lawrence:

  I envy you the opportunity of working in Sir William Bragg's private office and laboratory and I hope that you live up to the implied compliment by putting out some good work while in London.

  I am glad to learn about your bromoacetylene result. Methylacetylene has been completed, giving a C—C single bond distance of 1.46 Å. The investigation of the other substances is moving along slowly. I have just returned from a meeting of the AAAS in San Diego. Several of the boys from the laboratory presented papers there.

  All of our doctorate candidates have received degrees and most of them are placed for the coming year. Schomaker is staying on as Hale Follow in charge of the electron diffraction apparatus. Eyster has a National Research Fellowship and will probably be at Michigan with you, working mainly in the Physics Department. Taylor has a job with Shell Development, Winstein is continuing his research here and Garner and Oxborne are staying on with Yost as Noyes Fellows, Palmer is to go to Washington University, Saint Louis, where he is to be Research Assistant to Schmitt in the Zoology Department. Elliott has been made Assistant Professor at Pomona, and Levy my carry

  on his work here for another year.

  We are beginning to get apparatus moved into the new laboratory. The magnet is set up over here now but the other apparatus hasn't yet been moved.

  My wife and I have bought a plot of ground, 2.1 acres, in Sierra Madre Villa, a few hundred feet south of Dr. Bell's place and we are thinking of building a one story ranch type house there this summer.

  I am just putting the finishing touches on the last two chapters on the chemical bond.

  Corey has finished the structure of diketopiperazine and Corey and Albrecht are polishing up glycine, Corey is going to stay for another year and work on related substances. Brasseur is spending the summer here and his wife is along this time too.

  With best regards, I am

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling
