- Letter from Dr. Willis R. Whitney to LP RE: Replies to LP about what a wonderful surprise his letter was, says the letter LP saw was part of his friendly correspondence with Dr. Baitsell and contained also some remarks he had forgotten about, which Baitsell received his permission to print. Says he is glad LP is where he is at this time, speaks of the advances in modern organic chemistry that he never thought to see, and says he is looking forward to the papers LP is sending him as well as any further news LP could keep sending about the advances of his laboratories.

- Statement made by Crellin Pauling [written by somebody else]: “On Saturday, November 10, at the dinner table, I said to Crellin “If we had a circle 10 inches in diameter, that is, 10 inches across, what would be its circumference, that is, how long would a string have to be to go clear around the circle?” In perhaps half a minute Crellin said “I think it would be 32 inches.” I said “That's pretty good, how did you decide that it would be 32 inches?”> Crellin said “Well, its 10 inches across and it would take about three of those to go around - that would be 30 inches - and then a little more would make 32 inches.” [Filed under LP Biographical: Personal & Family, Family Correspondence: Edward Crellin Pauling. 1930-1995, No Date: Box #5.048, Folder 48.2]
