Professor Farrington Daniels

Department of Chemistry

University of Wisconsin

Madison, Wisconsin

Dear Farrington:

I thank you for your letter of 8 January. I am very pleased that you and your colleagues should offer me an appointment as Lecturer at the University of Wisconsin for two weeks this summer, but I believe that it would be wise for me to not accept that appointment. I am planning to spend the summer working on the preparation of a third edition of my book THE NATURE OF THE CHEMICAL BOND, and although the proposed period in Madison is short, it would, nevertheless, interfere, I am afraid, with the course of my work on the revision.

Please express my thanks and my regrets to your colleagues.

Sincerely yours,

Linus Pauling:W

Letter from Owen J. Roberts, President, American Philosophical Society to LP RE: Roberts thinks there are serious advisability and practicality issues about creating and conducting separate journals for the strict sciences and believes the matter should go to the Council at its next meeting for a decision. Will talk to LP about this when he comes to the next meeting.
