• Letter from LP to Henry Allen Moe, RE: LP gives his recommendation in regards to John L.T. Waugh's application for a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship. LP says that Waugh is able and well-trained, that his proposed program of research is a sensible one, and that he should be able to make significant progress on it if he were to spend a year at Oxford. LP thinks, however, that the problem would probably turn out to be too difficult for Waugh to solve, because of the limitations of his experience in x-ray crystallography and his general ability. LP thinks that Waugh's caliber as a scientist is not quite high enough to merit awarding him the fellowship. [Filed under LP Correspondence: (W: Correspondence, 1960-1962), #445.2]
