Mr. Fred Okrand
257 South Spring Street
Los Angeles 12, California
Dear Mr. Okrand:
Your letter of 27 January arrived while I was on a trip around the world, from which I have now returned. I may say that some of the mail that was forwarded to me did not reach me, and for this reason much of it was just held in my office.
I am glad to give you permission to permit a representative of The Fund for the Republic to examine the files in your office about my case. I enclose the copy of your letter, with the statement to this effect on it.
Sincerely yours,
Dictated by Linus Pauling
