  Dear Professors Bloch, Doty, and Westheimer:

  I am pleased to reply to your telegram, asking my opinion of Francis Crick.

  I think that Crick is a very clever and intelligent man—the sort of man who should be a professor.

  He has a good knowledge of the field of x-ray crystallography. I don't know how much he knows about biochemistry.

  Some of his work has been brilliant. Much of it has been done with collaborators, and it might be hard to decide how great the contribution is that Crick made in this collaborative work. However, I have little doubt that he has provided a good bit of the brilliance in the collaborative work.

  Crick has an interesting personality. I judge that he did not get along very well with Professor Sir Lawrence Bragg. I think that, on the other hand, he does get along well with most people.

  It is not easy to compare Crick with other people in the same general field. I think that he knows much more about x-ray crystallography than Alex Rich does, and that he probably is a more original man. He is not so sound and thorough as Professor Robert B. Corey, my collaborator, but on the other hand he is more imaginative and, of course, much younger. He probably has greater originality than David Harker, although I think that David Harker knows much more about structural chemistry than Crick does. Harker has done some fine jobs in the field of x-ray crystallography, such as his determination, with two students, of the structure of decaborane. Harker's work on the structure of proteins has, however, been disappointing.

  I may say that if I were looking for another man to carry on work on the determination of the structure of crystalline globular proteins (that is, if Professor Corey were not doing this work in our laboratory) I probably would have a strong inclination to appoint Dr. Murray Vernon King, who is one of Harker's collaborators, and who has been, I think, in large part responsible for the progress that has been made on that project. King, who received his training with Lipscomb, impresses me as being an able and original man who gets things done.

  Crick probably has broader interests, so far as biochemistry goes, than Kendry, who is, of course, making good progress in his attack on the structure of myoglobin.

  I would expect Crick to be an interesting and effective lecturer.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:jh

  Dear Lynn:

  I have just been reading, for the second time, your paper on tetragonal boron, and I am writing primarily to tell you my opinion of it. I think that it is one of the best crystal-structure determinations that has ever been made. Also, I am pleased with the excellent writing in this paper. Too often scientific papers are written in a discouragingly dull way.

  I have decided to discuss the structure, in the new edition of The Nature of the Chemical Bond that I am writing, by saying that there are per unit eight bonds with bond number 3/4, and 140 bonds with bond number approximately l/2. I take as the average values reported by you (or, rather, calculated from what you report) 1.62 +-0.02 for the three-quarters bonds and 1.797 +-0.015 for the half bonds. The values that I calculate as expected are 1.695 Å and 1.80 Å, respectively.

  I hope to have the manuscript finished by 1 April 1959. If you have results for your rhombohedral form by that time, you might be willing to give them to me, so that I could refer to them. Also, if you hear that those other fellows have refined the small-unit rhombohedral structure, let me know. Perhaps you would pass on to me whatever new and unpublished structural information you have, so that I can consider whether it needs to be mentioned in the book.

  Ava Helen and I are looking forward to seeing you in October. I am going to give the Messenger Lectures, and we are to spend the first two weeks of the month in Ithaca, staying at the Telluride House.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:jh

  P.S. I calculated the value 1.62 by giving one-third weight to the plate value.

  Dear Peter:

  Thank you for writing to Roger Stanton about the book cases. I looked over the metal book cases in the auxiliary library, and also some other metal shelving that we had at the instrument shop, and I have now decided to make the book case out of wood - I think that I shall try to get somebody to make them for me, to my specifications.

  Mommie and I spent ten days at the ranch early this month. I put in part of one day making some book cases for the ranch, and when we go back, week after next, I shall make another book case. The one that I made is rather nice looking. I got 7 pieces of birch, 5 ft. long. They were a full inch in thickness, made out of 1 1/4 inch stock. To support them I got 1/2 inch threaded brass rods, and a supply of nuts, to hold the shelves in the proper place. I bored holes in the 4 corners of the shelves, and put them together in this way. I am going to make a similar case, with 3 shelves, to go under the big windows on the south end of the house - the 7-shelf case is in the bedroom.

  Julia and Thomas are here now. We are having a good time with them.

  I have continued to work on the revision of The Nature of the Chemical Bond. I am supposed to have the job done by the first of April. Then I need to get to work on revising College Chemistry.

  On Saturday I had lunch with Willi Brandt, the mayor of West Berlin. He impressed me favorably. Also, Momma had lunch with Norman Cousins the same day, and I went out to the Cousins' ranch as soon as I got away from Willi Brandt.

  Dr. Schweizer has invited Mamma and me to come to visit him in Lambarene. I don't know yet whether we shall be able to accept the invitation. Our plans now are to come to London about 15 or 20 June, for the Ciba conference, and to stay around until about the first of August. We shall probably not stay in England very long, but visit some other countries.

  Love from

  [Linus Pauling]

  Mr. Richard O. Boyer

  Editorial Department

  Physicians News Service, Inc.

  130 East 59th Street

  New York 22, New York

  Dear Mr. Boyer

  In answer to your letter of 20 February, I am glad to comment on the questions that you asked.

  1. I think that chemical intervention to correct enzyme abnormalities or deficiencies will become a practical clinical procedure in the not very distant future. For example, in the case of a hereditary enzyme abnormality or deficiency that causes trouble because of the piling up of the substrate that ordinarily is converted into other substances by the enzyme, the treatment might involve simply the decrease in amount of the substrate ingested by the patient. This treatment is already in use: for example, milk is removed from the diet for galactosemics, and phenylalanine is removed from the diet for phenylketonurics.

  I enclose a reprint of a paper in which I have suggested that within fifty years it will be possible to make synthetic substances with enzyme activity, and to use these artificial enzymes in the control of diseases resulting from abnormal or deficient enzymes.

  Another possibility is that an abnormal enzyme manufactured by a patient because of a genetic abnormality may be made effective through the combination with a simple chemical substance.

  2. I do not have any special knowledge about clinical work on chemical intervention to rectify metabolic abnormalities due to enzyme change from genic mutation.

  3. I think that it may well be possible in some cases to make clinical use of transduction. I think that the probability of successful use of transduction is especially high in the case of diseases in which, because of genic abnormality, the patient fails to manufacture an enzyme, or manufactures an abnormal enzyme that will not work. It might be that in some cases modification of cells by transduction, with use of deoxyribonucleic acid, or implantation of cells, may be done in such a way that a satisfactory amount of the enzyme is manufactured by the patient.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:LL
