Dear Mr. Matheson:
I am pleased to make some further remarks about Remick's "Electronic Interpretations of Organic Chemistry", which you may, if you wish, use in your future publicity on the book.
In my opinion Remick's book provides a sound and well-balanced discussion of the electronic structure of molecules in its relation to organic chemistry. The discussion is clear and straightforward throughout, and the topics discussed have been selected in such a way that the field is satisfactorily covered. The good judgment of the author is indicated in the sensible discussion which he has given of the many difficult and often confusing questions which arise in the field of the electronic structure of organic molecules.
I can not refrain from expressing to the author and publisher my feeling of dissatisfaction that the important name of Sidgwick should occur misspelled over and over again throughout the book.
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling
