Professor E. Bright Wilson, Jr.
Chemical Laboratory of Harvard University
12 Oxford Street
Cambridge, Massachusetts
Dear Bright:
I am pleased indeed to think that I have been asked to talk at Wellesley and that you haven't yet been invited even though you are so much nearer.
I have just noticed that the Cincinnati meeting comes between the 8th and 12th of April, and there is a small possibility that I can start east in time to make this meeting. Will you tell me what sort of a talk you would want me to give at your symposium, if I could come, and how long it should be.
I have written Benjamin to the effect that we don't mind waiting for two or three years to put out a new edition of QUANTUM MECHANICS. I got the impression from the McGraw-Hill man who came through here that they were in a hurry for the new edition. I agree with you that the book should be pretty thoroughly revised, and that a considerable change in our treatment of general quantum mechanics should be made.
With best regards, I am
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling
