Dear Harold:
I was pleased to receive your letter, but sorry that you had been worried about the reception of your talk. I do not think that there is any use in my getting in touch with the editor of Frontier. I do not remember clearly what was said to me by a couple of people who heard your talk, but I think that they said that most of the members of the audience seemed to be dissatisfied with a statement that you made about the impossibility of getting along with Russia -of finding a way for peaceful co-existence in the world. However, as I have said, I am not sure that I remember correctly.
Is there an address that you could give me for about the time 20 September or 1 October? There is another matter that I should like to write to you about.
I am sure that you and Mrs. Urey are enjoying yourselves. I am glad to be spending a quiet summer at home - I am at work revising my textbook COLLEGE CHEMISTRY. I may say that both Ava Helen and I had a fine time traveling through Germany and Scandinavia last summer.
With best regards, I am
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling:W
