  Professor Robert A. Millikan

  California Institute of Technology

  Pasadena, California

  Dear Professor Millikan:

  During the past three years the California Institute of Technology has received several grants from The Rockefeller Foundation in the field of immunology. The first of these grants, for work in serological genetics under the direction of Professor A. H. Sturtevant, was made in 1940. it was in the amount of $12,000 for the period 1940-1943. A grant of $33,000, $11,000 a year, for the period 1941-1944 was then made for work in immunochemistry to be done under my direction. This was augmented by a special grant of $20,000 for the year 1942-1943 to be used primarily for work on the artificial manufacture of antibodies.

  The work in serological genetics has proceeded well, and on expiration of the period of the grant, June 30, 1943, Professor Sturtevant will submit a final report to the Foundation. Professor Sturtevant plans to continue work in this field as part of the California Institute's general program of research.

  During the prosecution of the program of research in serological genetics it has turned out that Professors Albert Tyler and Sterling Emerson began researches along lines which are closely related to those involved in the immunochemical program of the Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. It has seemed wise, in view of this, to synthesize all of the work in immunology at the California Institute into a unified program, involving the Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering and the Division of Biology. I submit herewith to you our proposed joint program of immunological research, with a budget for the year July 1, 1943 to June 30, 1944 of $29,000. Of this $11,000 is covered by the present grant in immunochemistry made by The Rockefeller Foundation, and I respectfully request that you communicate to The Rockefeller Foundation our application for an auxiliary grant of $18,000 to cover the work in immunology for the coming year.

  Our immunochemical work has progressed very well during the year. We have been able to obtain equipment and supplies because the Committee on Medical Research of the OSRD is sponsoring the research program in view of its possible value in the post war period. Dr. A. N. Richard, Chairman of the Committee on Medical Research, has been of great value to us in obtaining draft deferment of members of our staff and priorities and allocations of equipment and apparatus for the work. I am well pleased with the progress of our investigations, and I believe that they are of value.

  There are submitted with this letter duplicate copies of a report on the work in immunochemistry done during the past year and the statement of the directions in which it is proposed that work be done during the coming year, a report on the related work in immunology which has been carried on by Professor Tyler, and a discussion of proposed investigations of immunological problems by Professors Tyler and Emerson.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling

  April 1, 1943

  Dear Mom,

  I am glad that you and Dad enjoyed your stay in Berkley. I was very glad and happy to see you again. I hope that you get your suitcase if you don't have it by now. Tell me if there is anything I can do.

  My April house bill is payable, so I would appreciate it if you would send up my monthly fifty bucks. Also, would you send up one of your checks for the approximate amount of my Tech check so I can have the money. I am in very straitened circumstances at present, since my first pay day is some time off. If you are feeling that I am trustworthy you might make me a fifty-dollar loan. I would pay you back as soon as I am able.

  I think I can get some coffee for you. When I get some money I'll buy it. I stole a sugar bowl for a restaurant the other day, so now I have sugar for my little midnight snacks.

  Give my love to my little brothers and sister, and tell them I'll write someday. Say hello to Pop for me, too.

  Love,

  Linus

  April 17, 1943

  Dear Mom,

  Thank you very much for the beautiful Easter present. It was very well received.

  I hope you and the family are all well. How did your efforts to get someone to help with the house turn out? I am wonderfully glad that little Golden has had good luck. Be sure to make the children take care of the chicks.

  I should be extremely happy to have Pete come up for a visit. Send him right along.

  I hope that the firing on the range doesn't become too oppressive. It's liable to last a long time; I think that the war will keep on for may years.

  What would you say to my joining the merchant marine? My chances of going to officers' training school at my age are extremely few; no matter how well I did in in [sic] the aptitude tests I would be sent to a front for two or three years. I'm not sure yet whether I can get into the Navy.

  Give my love to the rest of the family,

  love,

  Linus

  AIR MAIL

  FOR MAMMA

  Sunday noon

  Dearest Mamma:

  The trip has gone well so far except that I have been lonesome for you- even lonesomer than usual for the first night I started, because of being lonely, to count up the number of nights remaining, and it didn't help me much to say that after that one was ended there would be only thirteen more. Now there will only be twelve more.

  Von Kariman[?] and Pipo are on the train. They are going among other places to the Phil. Soc. Meeting but I am not, especially since I got a telegram this morning saying that my reservation is waiting in Chicago for my trip to Radford Va., I talked for a long time yesterday afternoon to Kariman [?] and to Ripor [?], and they took me to dinner - I had an omelet.

  [page 2]

  I had a drink with K. too, but I've decided not to drink any more on this trip, because this morning my fingers seemed swollen.

  V.K. and I talked about Born + Summerfeld (also Erust) and Debye and others, and Pipo + I about Guetz[?] and Wawra[?] (young + old) etc. V.K. can't understand Millikan's' keeping Borsoole around. Pipo says that young Mrs. Wawra's is partially responsible for Warre [?] - she seems to be at odds with bothe of Wawra's parents.

  V.K. is down on Boru[?]- he says he is a Nazi at hear, but is kept out by being a jes.

  I expect to see Warren this afternoon and perhaps Phoebe. My train to Pgl. [?] leaves at 8.

  I wish that you were along. After the war we'll go together every spring to the Phil Soc + Net Ac meetings - perhaps sometimes also to the ACS. I love you.

  Your own, Linus.

  Wednesday morning

  3045 Albenarle.

  Dearest little wife:

  I love you, darling, and wish that you were here. I'm lonesome for you, and I'll be glad to get home- and stay home. Are you and all the little Paulings all right? I have been getting along well, and getting some useful information.

  On Sunday I went to Warren Johnson's apt. Florence was there, and some people came in for cocktails- not to see me: they were Carey Cronies and Mrs C., and Barthe and his wife. Mrs. Barthe was as crazy as ever but not quite so drunk. She said something about not being able to stand being in the same compartment or drawing room on the train with her husband; after several such more remarks I said that I was surprised - that I thought other married couples, not too fat, always slept in the same lower berth, as we do, and that even being in the upper together without our nighties, when we got left in Kansas City, was fun; and I asked (when she said that looked forward to the time when they would have not only separate beds but also separate rooms) whether she might not be able to use the advise in our "Hast du gepfiffeu" story. I made some other smott creeks [?] in the heat of the momentary irritation. I feel sorry for Barthe - he seems all right, and he makes little efforts to make his b. + c. behave. She makes me mad, with her affectations - how hard is it to only get along with one maid, now that the nursemaid is gone and so on.

  Warren took me to the station at 8, and I arrived in Pgl[?] at 7 AM. I went to the King George for bkfat, but the dining room is closed on Monday, so I had to eat at the W. Hall - it was punk. We had a good meeting. I saw Eyster, in addition to Monk, Kisty, Hoard (and Mrs. Hoard in the evening - she had come with Lynus, and is as lively as ever), Long + Mrs. L, Jackson, and others. After the meeting we went to Hammett's apt for dinner, and at 930 Williams + I went to the train. I reached Wu [?] at 9, and spent yesterday in our Division meeting. There was some interesting business. Corey was at the Brucetor meeting. At 6 I came to the Hendrichs, had dinner with them, and stayed overnight.

  I have telephoned Dorcas many times, and have got either the busy signal or no answer. I plan to stay with them from Saturday (when Corey + I return from Radford) to Tuesday, when I start back home. Hooray for Tuesday! Three hoorays for Friday!!!

  Lt. Saffer (do you remember him?) asked me to lunch with him tomorrow. When I accepted he said "And Mrs. Pauling - is she with you, and could she come too?" Poor fellow - his face fell when I told him the bad news. I hadn't understood the invitation until then - but I be my most charming, to help him over the disappoint-ment.

  Today (it is 1130) I shall go to the Academy and talk with Gibson and Richards. Williams says that Cohn doesn't want anybody else to work on blood substitutes. I think that many people should work on such an important problem, and I'm going to say this to Richard.

  It is warm here, but there was a thunderstorm about at about 930 last night, with big ½ inch hailstones coming down.

  Five nights gone by - nine more to go. I don't sleep very long - seven to eight hours _ but I lie in bed and read a detective story every night. I wish Edith could cook better - she feeds me lots of pork vegetables, I'll be glad for more than one reason to get home with you my darling.

  Love to Crellie, Linda, Peter, and especially my own sweet girl!

  Your

  Paddy

  Thursday 11 AM

  Dearest little love,

  Six nights down and 8 to go!

  I am working on my talk for tonight. Sterling and Edith are at work. I haven’t yet got Milt + Dorcas to answer their phone.

  I slept well last night. Are you lonesome? Its colder today, but not very cold.

  Yesterday I talked with Richards about out transfusion work. He’s a nice old fellow - honest and real, not a stuffed shirt. I think Addis

  [page 2]

  will get his contract, and we too.

  My Radford trip is off. I’m going to Philadelphia + New York tomorrow, and “ [Philadelphia] for the Aun. Phil. Soc. On Saturday; this trip being on our transfusion work. Richards is enthusiastic about it, and is going to show my samples to a Congressional committee today.

  I love you, darling, I must get to work.

  April 23, 1943

  Dear Mom,

  I hope you have a happy Easter with the little ones. I am going over to the Millers' for dinner. I went over last Sunday to see them, and found them well but very lonesome without Barse, who is in Australia now. Little Helen is extremely out of hand; her mother has almost no control over her. While I was there I had to act as chaperone for her and some youthful sailor she had picked up on the street. I think poor Mrs. Miller is getting worried.

  Your last bag is found. Apparently it had lost its tag, for the S.F. baggage room had to force the hinges to get some identification. They found my address, and called me up today. They will repair it if you give it back to them after removing your things. The character said he had been able to find no record of anyone's having lost a bag of this description. It shows a remarkable case of inefficiency.

  I saw Pinafore in S.F. last Saturday. I am going to see Porgy and Bess before long.

  I hope Dad is remaining well. I'd like to see him if he comes through this section of the state on his trips.

  Initiation is coming in a couple of weeks. I think that I will not go through with it, because almost no one else is, and also I don't have fifty three dollars on hand. I'm not sure that becoming a member of ΑΣΦ now is worth that amount. Our initiation is reputed to be the toughest in Berkeley. It consists mainly of beating us with paddles for two days. As you can Imagine initiates are black and blue from the knees to the waist for several weeks. I have seen cases of this. Often the guys break under the strain. I may go through with the informal initiation just to see if I can take it.

  I hope that the children enjoy their vacation. We get absolutely none. Tell them I'll write eventually.

  Love,

  Linus

  Saturday 9am

  Dearest love:

  I adore you. Everyone here asks about you, and wishes you were here.

  I couldn't get my Radford pullman reservation, so Corey and I cancelled our trip. I talked with Richards about our transfusion work, and he wanted me to do more talking. So night before last I gave my talk for Sterling's crowd - Paul and Linda came to dinner at the Hendrick's - there were 401 in the audience, which seems to be the Washington record. Then I got up at 6 yesterday morning, came to Phila, and talked to Dr Lockwoodat the Med.Sch. (10 to 12), went to New York and saw Dr Robert Loch ( a fine fellow - Leonard's brother), Michael H., Dochez, and Hans Clarke (2 to 5), and returned to Phila., had dinner with the Rous'es, and heard a talk on Jefferson by Fiske Kimball and some chamber music (Haydn, Mozart) by Swann and three friends. Then to bed, and I'm just now up.

  I'll stay till tomorrow and then go to Washington. It isn't much fun being here without you - and its perfectly clear that its you everyone is looking for - they peer under and around me and get so disappointed. I adore you. 8 down and 6 to go.

  Your own loving husband

  Sunday noon

  Dearest little wife,

  You are the cutest and sweetest girl in the world and I adore you. I'll be glad when the war is over- then you and I will make a fine trip East every year or oftener. Everyone (in-cluding me) is sorry that you aren't along.

  The attendance at the Phil. Soc. wasn't very great. I missed Carl Darrows talk (except a few minutes) because my watch was slow. The other talks were interesting - especially Jefferson as a gardener.

  Mrs. Weyl was especially sorry

  [page 2]

  not to see you. She said you still have the same effect on people as when you came to Europe as a beautiful lively young girl, causing every scientific young man in Zurich to fall in love with you. There is one who fell in 21 years ago and has never fallen out! You are the most charming person in the world.

  Yesterday afternoon we saw some sights - 2 to 4 - and then I rested alone from 4 to 7.

  Do you remember di Tomasi at Cornell? He

  [page 3]

  sought me out to send you a message about how much fun it is to hold you up on the ice.

  I walked around with Buckley and Baird Hastings. The latter said that I had made a great hit with Richards. They all like Addis.

  Bill Houston and Ted weren't elected to the Phil Soc this year.

  [page 4]

  I sat at table last night with the Buchleys, Wrights, and Karmans, and Phillipp Frank. The dinner was all right. Carl van Doren spoke - an interesting talk, but rather long.

  H.N.R. didn't give his talk. He is sick - his heart. It bothered him some in Pasadena, but he ignored the symptoms of shortness of breath etc. Now he must rest for some time.

  I am now on the train approaching Washington. I'll reach Milt's about 3. Only 5 nights to go. I love you.

  Monday 7 AM

  Dearest little sweetheart:

  Ten down and four to go!

  I got in Washington at 3 PM - the train was late. It was a beautiful warm day yesterday, and only when I noticed that a lot of women had on new hats did I remember that it was Easter. Did you have fun with the children hunting eggs?

  I telephoned and found no one home, but I came out anyway and came through the downstairs, and un-dressed and rested until Milt and Dorcas came home at about 6. They had taken some visiting friends to Mt. Vernon. Wilt had got back from So. Car yesterday. Dorcas had not gone with him - but she had been away from home so much that I hadn't got her on the phone.

  I saw [?] and Bob yesterday. Bob is soon going to England. He was griping about Carl Darrow, who gave a poor talk on Saturday - not a new thing in it. Carl had brought some lady botanist down from New York as his guest.

  I heard that Hildebrand has gone to London to replace Thorfuis, who will soon be back to take a new job.

  Milton thinks that I should write to Clay to clear up the financial situation. He is afraid the $150 Grandma saved up while with us will vanish.

  Since the notices said that laundry would be ready by noon the next day, I sent 3 shirts to the Benj Fr. on Saturday. Then when I asked for it on Sunday they said that the laundry now took a day off - so my shirts are to be mailed home!

  My hands are swollen this morning. I don't know why, since I haven't drunk much nor kept overly long hours, except on Friday. I drank half of a cocktail, and a glass of wine at the Phil Soc dinner Saturday. But boy, will I dissipate when I get home!

  Milt is dressing now, and will soon leave for work. I'll go to the Acad. At 9_ and tomorrow at 530 I'll start home! To stay, I hope, with you forever.

  I adore you dear little girl.
