  • Letter from AHP to LP: Monday Dec. 6 [1937]My darling sweetheart;Two wonderful letters came from you this morning--Your Thursday one and Friday from Syracuse. I had forgotten about your going there. I'm glad that you gave such a good lecture. You are a dear boy, and I love you.I'm glad you found errors in Neurath's work. It will teach him to ask in that condescending way whether you understand German! I thought he expected to remain at Cornell.Your Thursday letter is sweet but you are unhappy. I hate to have you miserable. I'll return with you in January if I can possibly arrange things. The children won't like it I'm afraid and I rather hate to broach the subject to Lola although I think she would be willing. She is very eager to care for the baby. I'll look for more help right away. I thought I'd save that much since I wouldn't be going out much anyway.Perhaps we should send Linus away for the interim. I don't know where though.Today Margaret Stock came and we made fruit cake. 20 pounds--She was over-joyed to think what a surprise she would have for Chester.The bride and groom come in this evening. Charles is awfully happy. I gave them three jars of jam and coat hangers and offered to be of any assistance. They didn't use the sleeping bag--too cold.Buchman telephoned--he says he knew I'd go back with you and that they all have a personal interest in this affair and are willing to sacrifice having me here for you!!! He is a mutt! But rather good for me just now.Oh my sweet I do love you. You know that I want to be with you. In your letters from Berkeley in 1931 you are always suggesting that we never leave each other and always stick together! But you always forget.I love you. I'll come and meet you. I haven't driven the car however because I haven't had time to practice. I would better wait for you anyway. I love you. Goodnight sweet love and be happy. Your Ava Helen [Filed as 1937.12.06.AHP]
  • Letter from LP to AHP: [Envelope return address:]L PaulingBaker LabIthaca N.Y.[Envelope address:]Mrs Linus Pauling1245 Arden RoadPasadena, Calif.[Postmark:]ITHACADEC 71130 AM1937N.Y.[Letter]Dearest love:Monday, 120Only three more nights alone here, and three on the train! I can hardly wait till Thursday night to get started back to my sweet- [new line] heart.Last night it snowed - starting in the late afternoon - and when I went home at about 230 there was a beautiful heavy blanket of pure white crunchy snow over everything. I think that snow must be as pure as anything on earth, with first its refine- [new line] ment by evaporation into the sky and then its further purification by crystalliza- [new line] tion. I walked home through about 4 inches of snow, and had inch on my chest and shoulders and hat when I reached the house. Today it has snowed some more, and now it has stopped. The sidewalks are shoveled off early in the morning.Today I rose at 11, bathed, came to Lab and found your letter. I'm glad that you have decided to come with me in January. You are probably right in saying that we are in for a long seige (15 years) of taking care of our children.I worked at odd jobs during the day, patching up the manuscript here and there, and tonight I have finished Chapter VII (half of VI remains now, and about all of VII, IX, X, XI and perhaps XII). I am not working very well now - I've gone stale; I don't believe that I wrote over 15 pages today - perhaps a few more. I need you to play with me and love me and make me happy again. I adore you, my own little darling.A letter came from Taylor. We are to go to Princeton on Wed. Jan. 12th, staying till Saturday. That will be fun. Kisty [sic] & Bright are to be there.Another letter (Friday's) came from you in the afternoon mail. Also James wrote to me.I'm glad that you liked the letter Ovid and I collaborated on.Don't you got too intimate with that Curtis Crellin! Or with anyone else! You're my girl, and you'd better remember it! I'm sorry the Associates' dinner wasn't more fun for you, and that Millikan and Barrett are looking old. How is Morgan? I saw in the paper [added in]^ N.Y. Times that he was asked by a reported over the phone from New York what he thought of Goldschmidt's statements that genes don't exist and that all he said was "I am familiar with Dr Goldschmidt's ideas."You are a bad girl to say that you had an interesting but curious experience and [inserted in] ^then not tell me about it.I don't supposed that you will answer this letter. Will you be glad to have your Paddy with you again? You surely have crept into Paddy's heart and expanded until now you fill his whole life. I adore you, little love.Your ownLinus [Filed as 1937x.12.06.LP]

  • Letter from AHP to LP: [Letter written on brown stationary]Tuesday Dec. 7 9.15 A.M.1937 [Added by LP later]Sweetest Paddy in the world;So my dusty eye put a spell on you did it. I'm sending a note this morning which I hope you will get Thursday. I love you very much and I'm happy to think that after reading this you will get on the train and come home. I wish you were taking the Super Chief. You are giving next to the last lecture now. I suppose you are saying that Thursday's will be the last due to the lecturers wanting to see the game New Years day in Pasadena!I do love you very, very much. You certainly are dependent on comma's. I said graham crackers spread with butter, and grape juice (mine). Naturally I expected more from your understanding than Rem Barry say - who is getting sappier and sappier. You aren't though! Of course you can't write more on your book because you've worn yourself out.I think perhaps you'll be willing to return without me after you've seen the children and been at home for awhile. It would be a shame for you not to stay at the Telluride House. I think how hard it would be to find some place for us to stay. You wouldn't like that. I love you, you darling. You see men and women are different. I didn't want to come away and leave you but you didn't mind -whereas I am now used to being without you and you get lonesomer and lonesomer - or say you do - Poor Darling! I love you.I must bathe the little laboratory now who says he has been an angel long enough and is going to try being a devil for awhile and see what that brings.Love, love, love, and come fast, fast, fast toYour girl -AHP [her monogram] [Filed as 1937x.12.07.AHP]
  • Letter from AHP to LP: Tuesday 2.30 P.M.My Love:To think that for the first time I have received no letter from you. The postman couldn't believe it either and looked several times. Then he remembered that he had no airmail at all so decided something had delayed the plane. I hope it hasn't crashed for I'd hate to not read your Saturday letter. I'm writing this one as a surprise for you because I've written one already this morning. I 'll send this to the Tel. House I believe. Fool you!I called Mother Ransome of Pasadena college this morning and perhaps I can get Naomi to come. That would be ideal. I haven't approached Lola yet. I guess I'll let you do that!The weather is warm and sunny. Really lovely!How are you? Are you all ready to get on the train? Is your bag packed? Did you say farewell to everyone? Did you apologize for leaving a whole week early? A good joke on H & S. I guess I'll have to hunt some more old letters. I'd like to see the ones from Harvard, also the following year at Berkeley.Have you gone ice skating? I don't see why you work so late at night. You'll kill yourself.When I went to the Associate dinner the other night I though that we should leave Pasadena. Really these people are pretty awful looking with a few exceptions. Did I tell you about arranging Mrs. Crellin's table? They seemed grateful. Of course they should have a good place.You'd better go to the train now. I hope this reaches you.Loves and kisses and hugs . . .Ava Helen PaulingP.S. This is my last letter. [Filed as 1937x.12.07.AHP.2]

You are my turtle dove. I am writing to you early tonight - I think I shall go home to bed early, because I didn't sleep well last night, and didn't give as good a lecture as usual today, I think. I've been busy today - my lecture, lunch, odd jobs in the afternoon (including making some solutions to grow some crystals), dinner, public speaking. Four boys talked, and then I talked, saying that I thanked them for asking me to stay, and that you were probably coming back with me, and that I was saying goodbye so they wouldn't need to fear a repetition of last year's uncomfortable situation; but I hope that they will decide to have us stay, anyway, so that you will have some- [new line] thing over Sidgwick. I told the boys that they should have more scientists in the house. Then (at 830) I came to the Lab, when Dr Hickman from Eastman gave a talk - pretty good. Since 10 I've been working.Last night it was very slippery, and I fell twice on the hill, but I try now to be very careful, and have learned to keep off the slippery spots.Your nice Saturday letter came. I'd like to hear Peter read and Crellie laugh - and hear you laugh too, as you shall when I get hold of you. I'll bet the children were cute and then Mrs Gates liked them.I won't send you any more letters that burn - but when I get to you I'll tell you some things that will make your pretty cheeks pink! By the way, Ovid says to the girls "After the joys of Venus, ask your lover for a gift." You ought to remember that - I'd be happy to give you anything you want - and at any time, too.Boy, its cold here [inserted note above the line]^, (outside, I mean) with the wind howling and the snow swirling into drifts. I'll be glad to leave - day after tomorrow! LoveLinus [Filed as 1937x.12.07.LP]

Tonight the president of the Telluride House & several of the boys invited both you and me to live in the house in January. What do you think of that? Are you going to write to Sidgwich? I thought that he would, but I wasn't sure.I'm cold, and so I'm going home to bed now, although I'd like to stay and get some more work done.I walked to town - clear to the station - and back to the Lab today, from 130 to 300 , carrying 3 bottles of champagne back. I'll bring them in my bag - they wouldn't ship them. I bought a bill fold with a zipper for Liny.Tonight is my last night alone in the House - three more on the train - then a good rousing chase and I'llcatchyou.I've been interested to note some thing that I'll tell you when I see you (this is to pay you back for your curious experience).I nearly froze walking (and running) home last night. My teeth began to chatter before I'd gone one hundred yards. The wind goes right through over my nice heavy overcoat.I talked to some of the older boys in the house at & after dinner tonight about concentrating on their graduate work and not frittering their time away. They were interested, and felt that the Tel. Ass. took too much of their time for social activities.I like your Sunday letter, which came this morning. I don't fool you, little love. I adore you. You are a perfect girl, and probably the Telluride boys will all get married at once after seeing you in January.Tell Peter I like Rosie's Beau, & thank him for sending it.You are seeing the play now. I love you, my sweet.Your Paddy [Filed as 1937x.12.08.LP]

I think the Telluride boys want you in the house - several of them spoke to me today about it. Kleps, the president, also came in to ask my advice about getting married & moving out of the house next year - I had been talking about the importance of concentrating on work as a graduate student.Three letters came from you today, including your last special one. I liked them.I gave a good lecture on the three-electron bond & then said "The next lecture will be Jan. 4th" and burst into a smile that apparently was beatific, since the whole crowd burst out laughing.The boys had a special tea, with port & sherry & cake from the German bake shop. Lauby came, & Hoard & Papish & Pace. Pace took me to the train (station rather - he went back then for dinner). & Jack came, having walked, & then Lynn & Florence, & the three said goodby. Everyone has heard that you may come back & hopes that you do.I'll have breakfast with Phoebe & Thorfin in the morning.Schomaker is despondent again. I'll see if I can straighten him out.

Here I am on the train to Pasadena, but still with over two days before I'm with my love! We've just stopped at some little town--Galesburg, Ill. I'm rather cold - it was about 5 above zero in Chicago.I got off at 63rd St this morning, & was met by Thorfin. Phoebe gave us bacon & eggs & toast & coffee for breakfast. I talked with Thorfin & told him that the situation at Rochester was rather indefinite still. He said he was glad that Chicago had raised his salary. They are thinking of sending John to Cal Tech or Berkeley. We nearly missed my train. I said several times that we should go, and Thorfin said it was too early, but then he decid found that his watch had stopped. I was just ready to say that we must go. We had enough time, though - ten minutes leeway, even though Thorfin had to stop for gasoline.I made close connections at Buffalo too, our train was late because of the snow. The other train waited - I think it always waits for Pullman passengers.I haven't anything to read. I've been planning out the last chapters of the book. I think that we should stay in Ithaca till about Sat. the 29th, to get the MS in good shape. I've thought of an experiment to do with sulfanilamide, too - will you help me to do it? On the effect of "on the temperature of denaturation of proteins.340. I have been reading a paper (MS) of Coryell's. Now we are going by the Mississippi - perhaps only a slough, all frozen over.

I have had dinner now - a good one - shrimp cocktail, pepper pot soup, lamb chops, salad, brie cheese. I've been rather cold all day. I'll get an extra blanket for tonight. I'm happy to think that I'll be with you soon. I love you, dearest girl. I don't think that I'm more unhappy or less unhappy than I was just after you left. I have the same feeling of loneliness. I'm still saving up love for you, but Im about full, because under strain a drop squeezes out occasionally.Your ownPauling [Filed as 1937x.12.10.LP]
