  17 July 1956

  Dear Peter:

  I hesitate to burden you with an extra job, but I should like to have a copy of the book AN INTRODUCTION TO THE ELECTRONIC THEORY OF VALENCY, J. C. Speakman, Edward Arnold, Ltd., London, 3rd edition, 1955, 10 shillings 6 pence. I should be grateful to you if you would send it to me.

  Everything is going along well here. Dr. Corey and his group have the microfocus x-ray tube operating, and are now working on cameras for it.

  The Ford Foundation made the grant to us for support of work on mental deficiency. I am anxious to get some more work started on this problem; at present we have only one kind of investigation under way.

  Mama has not been feeling very well, having caught the chest cold that has been going around. However, she seems to be getting better now. Today she has been making apricot jam, because our apricot tree is full of ripe fruit. We have had great amounts of plums, many of which have been eaten by the birds or have fallen on the ground.

  Love from

  [Linus Pauling]
