16 April 1954
Dear Peter:
I forgot to enclose your check in the letter. Here it is now - for $550, to include the allowances for 1 April and 1 May 1954.
I have written letters of congratulation to F. E. King in Nottingham, and Pringle, as well as Max Perutz. A number of our friends were elected to the Royal Society this time.
You no doubt had noticed that Lady Robinson died. Mama had a letter from her only about six weeks ago.
I think that it would be fine if you could scare up a job for Linda. I think that she liked the job that she had as computer, on crystal structure work, one summer. You know that she likes mathematics. Mama and I hope that you will not allow her proposed trip to cause you to take an unduly long vacation this summer.
Love from
[Linus Pauling]

Sir Robert Robinson
Dyson Perrins Laboratory
South Parks Road
Oxford, England
Dear Sir Robert:
My wife and I were shocked to learn that Lady Robinson had died, and I am writing to express our sympathy to you.
My wife received a letter from Lady Robinson only a short time ago. We had been thinking about you and her, and had spoken about the possibility of our seeing you again when we make our next trip to Europe (at present not scheduled).
We enjoyed very much being with Lady Robinson (and with you also) in New Brunswick. We also remember with happiness our last visit to your home in Oxford.
I have heard that you are planning to retire this year. Is there any chance that you could consider coming to Pasadena for a while?
My wife joins me in expressing our deep affection for you.
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling:W
