School of Medicine
University of Pennsylvania
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Dear Prof. Drabkin:
I have been greatly interested to see your August, 1946 paper on the crystallization of human oxyhemoglobin. Both Dr. Robert B. Corey and I have had an interest in hemoglobin for many years, and Dr. Corey, with a student of mine, Dr. Harvey Itano, has recently begun a program of x-ray studies of hemoglobin.
It is clear that it is very important that a thorough x-ray study of your tetragonal human oxyhemoglobin crystals be made, and Dr. Corey is accordingly proceeding with this work. I am writing to you because I am sure that you will be interested to know that a thorough investigation of your crystals is being made.
With congratulations to you on the fine progress that you are making in your work, I am
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling:par
