Nineteen Thirty-seven.

Mrs. Linus Pauling,

Cornell University, Dept. Of Chemistry,

Ithaca, New York.

Dear Mrs. Pauling:

Your recent letter enclosing check for $30.00 reached me O.K. I have today given Mrs. Cook her 4^th ten dollar installment. This leaves a balance to your account of $40.00.

Your family are doing very well. Little Crellin appears to be doing better and gaining faster since on the raw milk. He does not need his magnesia and has gained about seven ounces each week for the last two weeks.

Mrs. Dery says she has been offered some work in one of the Cal Tech offices which she would like to take up as it will be more or less permanent. She does not know exactly when she will be needed but probably after next week. If you should want to stay longer, I can get some one to take Mrs. Dery's place if necessary to relieve her before your return.

We have been having cloudy, foggy weather here that last week with just occasional periods of sunshine. We have had no rain yet. With kind regards to both you and Dr. Pauling, I am,

Very sincerely yours,
