Letter from John Edward Lennard-Jones, on a paper 'A modified method of antisymmetrized molecular orbitals. Parts I, II & III' by W Moffitt and J Scalan, to David Brunt

Reference number: RR/75/68

Date: 07 March 1951

Description

Paper reference code: A60, A61, A62

Lennard-Jones comments he would like to look through the papers sent as they in his field, however as this is a 'major task' with over 70 pages of 'heavy reading' he would be unable to get to them within the next month. However suggests if he is able to 'enlist' the help of his research students (Hall and Pople) he may be able to deal with the papers as soon as possible.

Written at The university Chemical Laboratory, Cambridge [England].

[Parts I and II were published in Proceedings A, 1951. Part III was withdrawn].

Endorsed on recto as received 8 March 1951.
