  Dr. E. P. Stevenson

  National Defense Research Committee

  1530 P Street, NW.

  Washington, D. C.

  Dear Dr. Stevenson:

  I have spoken with Dr. Beckman about your letter of February 19, and have found that he is planning to make a business trip East early in April, and would like to visit two or three laboratories using the oxygen instrument, such as Wright Field and the Naval Research Laboratory. He is not able to take time enough, however, to make thorough survey of the situation with respect to the performance of the instrument in use, and so I have asked Dr. Reuben E. Wood, who has been primarily responsible for the design and construction of the instrument, to carry out the survey. It is planned that Dr. Wood will leave Pasadena late in March or early in April and visit as many as possible of the plants and laboratories where the instruments have been used. He will try to be present with Dr. Beckman at the places visited by Dr. Beckman.

  Dr. Wood will obtain as much information as possible about the performance of the instrument in use, and will also gather information about possible suggested changes in design. After completing the trip he will prepare report about it.

  Dr. Beckman will make his trip without cost to the government. I plan that Dr. Wood's travel expenses will be taken care of out of our contract OEMsr-584. I trust that your office can make arrangements for Dr. Beckman and Dr. Wood to visit the various plants and laboratories, and I have asked Dr. Wood to write directly to you about this. I think that this survey will give valuable results, and I thank you for suggesting that it be made.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling

  March 7, 1942

  Dear Mom and Dad,

  I hope you are getting along well and that the trip isn't too hard on Daddy. Linda very suddenly came down with chicken-pox, but it is a very light touch and you needn't be worried about it or come rushing home. Crellie felt very badly the day after you left, crying all afternoon. He slept thirteen or fourteen hours that night, however, and has felt pretty chipper ever since, except for his everlasting cold.

  Alpha and Dr. Jones are very good and we have a lot of fun with them. Alpha and I have just gotten through with a terrific struggle with the electric heater, which, you remember, was out of commission. It is made of pieces of sheet-metal which have to be made to fit in little grooves. We struggled for about forty-five minutes just putting all of this back together.

  I got stopped by police for the first time yesterday. He was just checking up on these kids without driver's license, however, so he didn't have much to say.

  I hope you enjoyed yourselves in all the cities you stay in and keep out of mischief. It's pretty hard to do one without the other, isn't it?

  Much love,

  Linus

  Professor John H. Yoe

  Cobb Chemical Laboratory

  University of Virginia

  University, Va.

  Dear Professor Yoe:

  Our belief that mixtures of air and carbon monoxide lose carbon monoxide on long standing over water is based on our experience that a mixture made up to, say, 100 parts per million, after standing over water in a rubber-stoppered glass bottle for times of the order of a week or so, produces negligible carbon monoxylation of oxyhemoglobin solutions, whereas a fresh mixture of carbon monoxide of the same concentration reacts as expected. We have observed this occurrence a number of times with mixtures ranging in 00 content from 100 to 500 p.p.m. but have not made any detailed study of the rate at which the carbon monoxide concentration decreases. Our gas mixtures are made up to the desired concentration since we could make up the mixtures with enough precision for our purpose.

  We agree that more carbon-monoxide disappears than can be accounted for by solution in water, and are of the opinion that the carbon monoxide reacts with water to produce 00₃ and hydrogen. The free energy change favors this reaction at room temperature. Whether the reaction is catalyzed by the glass-water interface we do not know, but that is a possibility. I think it would be desireable [sic] to have rate measurements made, and to try to correlate them with the glass-air and the glass-water surface available and perhaps with the iron content of the glass. Our procedures are not well adapted to analysis of carbon monoxide gas mixtures since the rate of reaction with oxyhemoglobin is so low. If you find it possible to put a man on the problem I shall be very much interested in the results you obtain.

  I regret that the information we have to offer is not more definite. Of there is anything further you would like to know about our experience with this matter please do not hesitate to write.

  Sincerely yours,

  J. Norton Wilson

  Captain Victor Herbert Ingersoll

  United States Army Prisoner of War

  Interned by Japan

  in care of Japanese Red Cross

  Tokyo, Japan via New York, New York

  Dear Herbert:

  Having learned your address from the Caltech Alumni Review, I am writing to tell you something about how things are going here. Everybody is very busy with special duties pertaining to the war, and I am no exception. In addition to keeping busy in Pasadena, I have to go East several times each year.

  After I had taught several sections of freshmen in the years when you were at Caltech, I stopped doing any undergraduate teaching for about fourteen years. Then, three years ago I took on the job of handling freshman chemistry myself, and for the last three years I have been giving the freshman lectures. I have written a little textbook, too, which is used by the boys. It has not been published, but I hope after the war to revise and complete it and put it out for general use. I like teaching the freshmen, but I do not get so well acquainted with the whole crowd that come to my lectures as I did with the few boys in my freshman section twenty years ago.

  Dr. Jimmy Bell, who used to be in charge of freshman chemistry, is still teaching two sections. He is rather old now, and since his wife died last summer he has not been feeling very well.

  Professor Millikan is as hale and hearty and full of energy as every. He is still carrying on his duties of Chairman of the Executive Council of the Institute very well.

  My wife and I have four children, the eldest, Linus, Jr., who has just turned eighteen, being now a freshman in premedics at the University of California at Berkeley.

  I see the boys who were in my section along about your time every once in a while. Alpheus Ball, who is with Hercules, dropped in awhile back — I don't remember whether or not he was in your class.

  I shall look forward to your revisiting Caltech one of these days.

  With very best regards, I am

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling
