  • Letter from Herbert S. Bailey, Jr., Princeton University Press, to LP RE: Sorry to hear that LP has been unable to begin preparing the Vanuxem Lectures for publication.

  • Letter from LP to Esther Everett Lape, The American Foundation Studies, RE: Regrets that he cannot attend the dinner. Suggests that they postpone it until December. Plans to be in Boston then and could also speak at The American Foundation's dinner. Would very much like to speak at the dinner and hopes that his proposal for postponement will be accepted.

  • Letter from Professor E. Bright Wilson, Jr., Chemistry Dept., Harvard University, to LP and Dr. Martin Karplus, Chemistry Dept., University of Illinois, RE: Has seen the letter from Handsfield about the size. Now prepared to comment on LP and Karplus' ideas for revision. Believes that the classical mechanics chapter should be altered. The chapter on the old quantum theory should be drastically revised. The wave equation needs some underpinning. Strongly believes that the book is for chemists and not for mathematicians; mathematics should be used as needed and not too heavily. Feels that a great weakness in the book is the lack of the matrix approach. Thinks the selection rule chapter dealing with interaction of radiation and matter could be improved. [Letter from Handsfield to LP and Karplus September 23, 1955, Letter from LP to Handsfield September 28, 1955] [Filed under LP Books: (Introduction to Quantum Mechanics, with Applications to Chemistry, Second Edition), Unpb.7]
