  Washington 25, D.C.

  Dear Dr. Richards:

  I have just written to Dr. Vannevar Bush that I accept with pleasure appointment to your Committee, to serve as a member of a Special Consultant Panel. I am very happy to be able to be of service in this way, and I thank you for thinking of me.

  It turns out that it is convenient for me to go to the San Francisco Bay Region next week. I am planning to leave Pasadena on the morning of Thursday, July 15. This will give me an opportunity to learn something about the OMR contracts in the Northern California region, and I am writing to ask that, if it is convenient, you send to me by air mail a list of titles of these contracts and the names of the Investigators. I am planning to go to Stanford University, the Stanford Medical School, the University of California at Berkeley, and the University of California Medical School in San Francisco.

  It is possible that I could meet with Drs. Bloomfield and Naffziger in order to discuss the duties and responsibilities of the Panel. If such a meeting does take place, perhaps on July 20, we would profit greatly by having your advice and instructions.

  I am not planning to come to Washington again for some months, but I am looking forward to seeing you when the time comes.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling

  Dear Tom:

  I have at least succeeded in arranging to be away for a few days, and I am looking forward to seeing you. My wife and I are going to take the Coast Daylight to San Jose on Thursday, July 15, and then go on to Palo Alto. I am planning to spend Friday looking around at Stanford, and then to come up to your Clinic on Saturday, assuming that this will be a satisfactory time for you. Our plans thereafter are indefinite; we may go over to Berkeley, and return to Pasadena on Tuesday.

  Your report on Knox's calcium gelatinate reached me yesterday. I am looking forward to have a chance to talk with you about the blood substitute problem.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling

  Mr. Paul Ruch

  Dr. Linus Pauling

  Because of the use of the calculating machines by a number of people and some resultant confusion, it has been found necessary to arrange that all work be done under supervision of an authorized person. In order that I may make such an arrangement, I request that you send me a detailed statement about the calculations which your men are making, including their nature and the fund or project of which they are a part, and an estimate of how much work, you expect to want done in the future. I shall let you know about necessary new arrangements when I get back to Pasadena next week.

  Dear Mr. Ratcliff:

  Our antibody work, while moving along slowly, has not made very much progress since I saw you. I now have hopes that the experiments will give a decisive answer during the coming few months, and I suggest that you write to me in, say, December. I trust that by that time we shall be able to give you the "go ahead" signal.

  Sincerely yours,

  Dr. T. Addis

  School of Medicine

  2398 Sacramento Street

  San Francisco, California

  Dear Dr. Addis:

  I am pleased to see the results that you got from your dialysis experiment. It is clear that there is equilibrium between salt in the urine and in the plasma when the concentrations are within about 10 per cent of one another. I don't know whether or not the 10 per cent excess indicated for the urine by your experimental results is significant, but I don't think that it matters. I know that George Scatchard at MIT has carried out some similar experiments with serum albumin—since getting home, I have found reference to this work in the book on proteins by Cohn and Edsall. Since I can't find the data anywhere, I have written to Scatchard, asking him what salt concentration would be in membrane equilibrium with normal plasma. We should have a reply in a few days.

  The only thing that I don't understand about your experiment is the statement on the graph that the cellophane bags of serum all floated in the middle of the salt solution. If the salt solution had been well mixed, a serum bag should either drop clear to the bottom or float on the top; the only way that a bag would be suspended half way down is by having the salt solution not well mixed, so that at the bottom the salt concentration and hence the density were greater than at the top.

  I enclose another page of calculations on the work of the kidney. These are in two parts, first, the work due to urea, and second, that due to sodium chloride. You will see that, as before, we find that, for grams of protein ingested, there is a saving of l64 calories for 36 per cent of the work due to urea concentration on increasing the urine volume from one liter to 3 liters. This is equivalent to the saving on decreasing protein intake from 44 grams to 23 grams. A further saving of 39 calories, equivalent to a decrease in protein intake of 4 grams., would be made in the urea work by going from 3 liters to 4 liters in urine volume.

  With respect to sodium chloride, the work due to sodium ions and chloride ions is small so long as the salt concentration in the urine is approximately equal to that of the plasma. Everything is fine so long as the salt concentration in the urine does not deviate by more than about 25 per cent from that in the plasma. If it drops to only one half that in the plasma, the increased work due to salt counterbalances the saving due to urea at about 3 liters urine volume.

  These calculations, then, indicate strongly that the urine volume should be kept up to 3 liters, and the salt intake should be increased in such a way that the salt concentration in the urine is 5 grams per liter or more. Only if there were some evidence that increased salt is harmful would this recommendation be unwise, and I don't know of any such evidence. The equation indicates that there would be further saving in work by going to a urine volume of 4 liters, provided that the salt concentration is kept up to 5 grams per liter. If it drops to 3 grams per liter, however, there would be no such saving in work on going from 3 to 4 liters.

  I propose that, if you think it not unwise, I myself increase the amount of salt ingested to about the optimum salt concentration in the urine, which minimizes the osmotic work of the kidney, might be obtained from patients with Addison's disease. Do you know whether or not these patients show a constant ratio of salt concentration in urine and plasma?

  I enjoyed my visit with you immensely.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling
