  Sister Mary Grace Waring

  Marymount College

  Salina, Kansas

  Dear Sister Grace:

  I thank you for your letter of October 15, the enclosed reprint from the Transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science, and the model of the propene molecule.

  I have been interested to read about your models and to see the example. I myself believe, as do you, that models such as this are very useful in the teaching of chemistry. With our own freshmen we make use of models made out of cork balls, held together by pins. These seem to be pretty satisfactory.

  I might say that it seems to me that a tetrahedral model has advantages over a cubical model in representing the simple atoms. It has been found that an atom such as neon is represented more satisfactorily by four electron pairs at the corners of a tetrahedron than by eight electrons at the corners of a cube. Perhaps you could revise your models by having the eight pegs paired together at tetrahedron corners, and still retain advantages of the present models.

  I thank you for telling me that you are interested in my textbook of General Chemistry.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:W

  Inter-Office Memo

  To Dr. David Shoemaker

  From Linus Pauling

  11/8/49

  Nickel alloys with molybdenum and wolfram

  Hansen, in discussing the nickel-wolfram system, points out that Ni₆W seems to be formed at 910°, 600° below the melting point of the alloy. An x-ray investigation is mentioned in Strukturbericht, in which the authors report Ni₆W to have just the A(I) structure of nickel with no superstructure. It has been suggested that they may not have annealed the samples properly. Another author mentioned by Hansen has reported the formation of Ni₁₆W and Ni₆W at the melting point, showing up by maxima in the liquidous curves.

  I propose that you make alloys with the composition Ni₆W, Ni₁₂W, Ni₁₆W, Ni₆Mo, Ni₁₂Mo. These compounds of molybdenum and nickel have not been reported in the literature.

  Los Angeles, California

  Dear Professor Dunn:

  As part of our researches on the structure of proteins we are starting a systematic quantitative chromatographic determination of the peptides and other products which result from the partial hydrolysis of proteins. Preliminary to the investigation, it will be necessary to collect data concerning the behavior on the chromatographic column of a very great variety of simple peptides of known composition. It occurred to me that as a result of your long experience in the preparation, purification, and characterization of amino acids and peptides you might have in your laboratory samples of simple peptides, small quantities of which could perhaps be made available to us. Although we should probably require 100 milligrams or more of a peptide in order to explore thoroughly its chromatographic characteristics, we could get a great deal of very helpful and valuable information from amounts as small as 10 to 20 milligrams.

  I recall that at one time it was possible to purchase small quantities of amino acids specially prepared and purified in the UCLA Laboratory. I wonder if this is still possible, and if so, whether it extends to preparations of peptides.

  I shall indeed be grateful for any help you can give us, or for any suggestions you may make concerning possible reliable sources of well-characterized peptides for this work.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:ph

  New York 16, N. Y.

  Dear Miss Gerlach:

  On the occasion of the recent visit in Pasadena of Dr. Arthur Chung, member of the Medical Committee and Board of Directors of the China Welfare Appeal, I was pleased to be able to make the effort to be of some service to him and to the China Welfare Appeal.

  My colleagues and I have in recent years developed a promising substitute for blood plasma. This material, Oxypolygelatin, can be manufactured cheaply and with use of equipment readily available. In the hope that it might be of some value in the department [?] of disease and of wounded persons in China, I was glad to be able to turn over to Dr. Chung a sample of the material, and a detailed description of its method of manufacture.

  With my best wishes to you for great success in your fine work, I am

  Sincerely yours,

  Dictated by Linus Pauling
