  UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA

  DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY

  BERKELEY

  July 18, 1935

  Professor Linus Pauling

  Department of Chemistry

  California Institute of Technology

  Pasadena, California

  My dear Pauling:

  We are delighted with the idea of your visiting us and lecturing on your new ideas. Our work of instruction begins on August 26 and we are going to have more difficulty than usual in organizing our courses because our laboratories are too small to hold the number of prospective students and we must resort to some fair method of elimination. If, therefore, you were going to stay over for a part or the whole of the next week, it might be better to give the five lectures in the second week, or divide them between the two weeks, but if you are only going to be here the week of August 26, we shall let other things drop and come in to hear you.

  It has been a matter of great regret to all of us that the University became too poor to support our visiting lecturers, and departmental funds are still as inadequate as ever, but we have a small gift of which the University, as such, is unaware, and from this we should like to make you a payment of $100 so that we could feel that we were at least paying your traveling and living expenses while you are here.

  With kindest regards to Mrs. Pauling and yourself, and pleasant anticipation of your visit, I am

  Yours very sincerely,

  G N. Lewis

  [LP's handwritten reply annotated on same document]

  Dear Prof. Lewis:

  I am very glad that you are willing for me to give some lectures in Berkeley. In suggesting this, I had not intended to receive payment; and if the lectures are given the week of August 26th I shall not accept the payment of $100 which you mention. If, however, it seems worthwhile to you to schedule some or all of the lectures for the following week, I shall extend my visit over this period and accept the payment. My wife and I are happy at the prospect of seeing you and Berkeley again.

  Sincerely yours,

  LP

Thompson, Vice President of the McGraw-Hill Book Company, Inc., to LP, RE: Tells LP that the error found in his title is being corrected and explains that since the manuscript is with the printer, they do not know what title appears on the title page and will use "Professor of Chemistry" until they receive further information.

• General Handwritten note from LP to President J.B. Conant, Harvard University, RE: Informs Conant that he is contemplating leaving CIT. Explains his interests in chemistry and developing the nation's top department of chemistry. Explains that the decision to leave CIT was because he did not see any opportunities for receiving better positions in the near future. Explains that he will not come to another university unless he is satisfied with research funds, salary, and his position in the department. Mentions that he and AHP are looking forward to the possibility of starting a new life in the east. [Filed under LP Personal Safe: Drawer 3, Folder 3.007.5]
