Arnold O. Beckman applied (ultimately unsuccessfully) for a job at E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company. The letter includes details of his work experience, publications, and educational background, including a reference to a "rather severe poisoning" as an undergraduate, after which he shifted his studies from organic to physical chemistry.
