Dear Professor Ramachandran
I thank you for sending me a copy of your paper, with Dr. Kartha, on the structure of the collagen group of proteins.
I have read it with great interest. I may say that I am not able to reach a definite conclusion about the probability that the structure is correct, but it seems to me to be unsatisfactory in some respects, in particular the bending of the hydrogen bonds.
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling:W

Dear Crellin,
Please put $4.00 in this and send it off to Rand T. I shall credit Daddy with the $4.00 so
get it from him or Mamma.
Sun is shining. 3rd since last summer (1953). I am working a little. Dreaming a good
deal. I would like to go to Honolulu. The head gaskets are off. I think I shall stop R and T with
this subscription which ends in October. It is not good enough. Motor Sport is better.
Where is my torch?
Damn it all.
Many thanks and much love,
Peter
