• Letter from Maurice W. Windsor to LP, RE: Windsor was intrigued to read about LP's hypothesis of anaesthetic action based on the complexing of water molecules in brain tissue.

Windsor wrote to Line about the anaesthetic properties of xenon and encloses a copy of their reply and a list of references. Windsor thinks LP may have already considered xenon, but may find the references useful. Windsor wonders about possibly looking into the anaesthetic effects of methane.
