Dear Miss Hochman:

Thank you for your inquiry about my paper on Orthomolecular Psychiatry.

My ideas about your paper topic are discussed in my paper.

The most active research team in New Jersey is that of Dr. Humphry Osmond, Director, New Jersey Neuro-Psychiatric Institute, Box 1000, Princeton, New Jersey 08540. Dr. Osmond has been very active in the testing of niacin and ascorbic acid for therapy of schizophrenia, and I suggest that you contact him.

With best wishes to you , I am

Sincerely yours,

Linus Pauling
