Dear Dr. Rundle:
I thank you for sending me the photomicrographs of microtome sections of field and pop corn kernels. These are indeed very interesting. It would be nice if the detail could be recognized well enough to check on the point as to whether the granules are really rhombic dodecahedra or are the fourteen-sided polyhedra which usually are observed with soap bubbles and cells.
With best wishes, I am
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling
