  Gentlemen:

  I am writing to report a fatal accident caused by one of your packaged organic chemicals, to ask if any similar accidents have been reported to you, and to suggest that you consider possible improvements in the method of packaging this substance.

  On September 23, 1943, Mrs. Elizabeth M. Swingle, a young woman, twenty-nine years old, who had received a MAster's Degree in Bacteriology and had worked as Stock Room Keeper of the chemical stockroom in the Crellin Laboratory for about a year, went to the chemical vault in the sub-basement of the Laboratory, and removed form the shelf a one kilogram bottle of ethylchlorocarbonate (Pract.), stabilized with calcium carbonate, Eastman P591. She walked to the foot of the elevator shaft, and, while she was standing there, the liquid sprayed out of the bottle and over her head and shoulders, the cap apparently having been blown off. Whether or not she had removed the cellophane covering over the cap is not known. She was immediately put under the shower in an adjacent room, and later her clothing was removed and she was carefully washed again. She was then taken to the Huntington Memorial Hospital, and oxygen therapy was instituted, but she died in about eight hours.

  It seems to us that this accident could not have been avoided by any change in procedure, and that it was due presumably to the development of pressure in the bottle of ethylchlorocarbonate and calcium carbonate through their reaction and the liberation of carbon dioxide. We would be glad to have your opinion about this, and we suggest that you consider the desirability of replacing the calcium carbonate by another stabilizer.

  We think that it would be wise to send a statement about this accident to Industrial and Engineering Chemistry News Edition, and we propose to do this in a few days. Please let us have any comments that you wish to make.

  Yours truly,

  Linus Pauling

  Dear Ed:

  Many thanks for your report. I hope that you will find time to finish up the work on B2O3 and that on silver aside. It would be fine too if you could do something else on γ-glycylglycine.

  Don't you think that it would he a good idea to publish a short statement about β-triglycine, pointing out the probable error in Lenel's work on the β-form.

  I hope that Norton is getting better, and I am glad that you now have a room.

  Cordially yours,

  Linus Pauling

  Dear Dr. Mellor:

  Some time ago the Registrar turned over to me your request for a copy of my freshman textbook on chemistry. I have been hoping to get a copy to send to you, but none has turned up, and I am afraid that no copy will be available unless we decide to have it mimeographed again for our use.

  The book is incomplete, covering as it does, only the theoretical parts of freshman chemistry. I am planning to rewrite it after the war, with inclusion of descriptive chemistry as well, and to have it published by a commercial publisher.

  I trust that things are going well with you, and that you will visit us again some day. In fact, my wife and I hope that at some time in the future we may be able to make a trip to the west, and to see you in your native haunts.

  Cordially yours,

  Linus Pauling

  Friday noon

  Dearest love:

  We all send our love to you. Be of good cheer, and do not let your spirits sink. Be happy, sweetheart, and come back soon to us.

  Your letter to Crellin came, and I am hoping that we shall soon hear of your safe arrival, and of your plans to come back soon.

  We have got along well. The children are fine, except that Liny is in bed today with some sort of ailment. He has normal temperature, but says that he feels weak- I think that he is getting better, but I told him to stay in bed (although the NDRC Ch 13 people now want the plates!)

  A letter came from Pat for you- I read it, to see if it needed to be forwarded. I trust that you will keep cool about the Clay money matter; I'm sure that Clay will pay the money to the estate and render an accounting- what else would his conscience (to say nothing of his siblings) let him do?

  Although we are not suffering, and Sadie takes care of us, we are all lonesome for you, and we send you loads of kisses.

  I shall go down and take Linda to her music lesson this afternoon. I must go now, in fact, in order to take Lt. Cooley to see the Admiral.

  Crelly is working on a letter to you, which will be sent later. He made a very realistic drawing of you and the Pullman car.

  All the love in the world from

  Paddy

  October 23, 1943

  Dr. Paul H. Emmett

  Pupin Physics Lab

  Columbia University

  11th Floor, Broadway at 120th Street

  New York, New York

  Dear Paul:

  I had heard that you were now on the Columbia project, and I am glad to know your address. I may he able to see you in January or February—I plan to be in New York then in connection with the Guggenheim meetings, but I am so busy during the two days of these meetings that I may not be able to do more than to say hello to you.

  We are all getting along pretty well. I am still sticking to my program, and it seems to be good for me. Ava Helen is in Portland now, her mother having died day before yesterday.

  The chances of your picking anybody up here are pretty slim; however, once and a while it seems wise for some reason or another for a man to make a change from one project to another and from one place to another, and if any one of the people here gets into this situation I shall keep you in mind and let you know about him. We have just sent several very good men off to one of the western variants of your project. We are, of course, interested in hiring people also—if you think that it would be good for one of your people to come West, let me know; perhaps I could use him on our project, which has expanded.

  Sincerely,

  Linus Pauling
