1 BerkeleyFEB 295 30 PM1932FACULTY CLUBUNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIAMonday at 1.Dearest Ava Helen:
The telegram which you and Linus and Peter sent me yesterday made me very happy. I thought of you a great deal, and I am anxious
for you to come up as soon as you can. I hope you are happy.
Yesterday afternoon I walked up to the Latimers, getting rather hot, as the sun was shining. Latimer is well now. The family
is happy, their little girl Eleanor behaving very much like Peter, though not having much hair. The boy is fourteen, and builds
model airplanes. Mrs Latimer made some punch and gave us cookies, and Latimer brought me back at 5. Then I went out to dinner
in Berkeley with Simon and Estermann, who has a 3-day-old baby girl. Simon is worried about conditions in Germany. The Techmische
Hochschule + Universitat at Breslan are being combined to save expenses, and he must make a cut in his assistants, and moreover
many of his relatives now have no money, so that he must feed them. He thinks conditions can't get much worse. Then Simon
and I went to the movie, seeing Buster Keaton in a funny play “The Passionate Plumber.” I then went to bed, after reading
Time for a while, and slept well, though lonesome for you.
This morning I saw Lewis, Bray, Olson, Kildebrand, Gibson, Eastmand, Giauque, Stewart, Branch, and Rollefson, all of whom
are well, and passed the whole morning talking with them, having lunch with the group at the Club. They are now playing Krigspiel,
which is a sort of blindfold chess. I also bought some paper and ink this morning.
I am again struck by the mature and cosmopolitan and learned atmosphere of this university, especially as compared with the
Institute. I feel that there is something characteristic of a great university which can never be developed by a more specialized
institute or less advanced college. The coeds look nice, too. I thought yesterday of visiting the Wagners, but didn't get
around to it.
I made a tour this morning of all the chemistry buildings, noting especially the very extensive research facilities compared
with ours. Professor Lewis is going to give me the detailed budget of his department.
I haven't seen Madlin, the senior applying to us; he seems to have been away over the week-end. I have learned that the Montana
man that we wanted to appoint (our recommendation having then been ignored by Dr Noyes) has been appointed here and has accepted.
This afternoon I shall give my lecture, after working on it a little longer. Every one remarks on the task I have of preparing
something new every year.
I love you very much, darling, and especially now that you contain little Willie.
Your ownPaddy

- Letter from LP to AHP:
Monday at 5
Dearest Mrs [sic] Pauling:
I have just given my lecture, which seemed to have been successful, although two biologists got up and left after five minutes.
I saw almost all the physicists - Bergè, Hall, Jenkins, White. Everyone asks if you are coming here, so I expect we'll have
some visiting to do when you come.
This afternoon I saw Medlin, who seems to be a nice boy. I think that he will probably come to Pasadena, for we can perhaps
trade him for Claussen, one of our own men.
My room in the Club is just above the brook, which murmers [sic] all the time, especially at night. It is really very nice
here.
Your own Paddy Pauling
