  Professor Karl Paul Link

  201 Biochemical Building

  University of Wisconsin

  Madison 6, Wisconsin

  Dear Professor Link:

  I thank you very much for your fine letter of congratulation. We were very pleased to learn the news about the Nobel Prize.

  I haven't heard anything from Budenz - no letter of congratulation from him. Of course I would not believe what he said, anyway.

  My wife joins me in sending best regards to you and Mrs. Link.

  Cordially yours,

  Linus Pauling: W
