Dear Peter and Julia:
Mama and I got home safely. We had only a few days here before we want back east, where everything went along all right. We haven't gone to the ranch yet—I think that we shall go up next Wednesday, returning the following Monday. Linda is getting along well. The twins are doing very well, they are lively and vigorous. I have been having a hard time catching up on my collected mail. I have also been getting some work done on the revision of The Nature of the Chemical Bond.
I enclose a check for $1,000, for the next few months. What has happened about the little piece of property?
Love from
Linus Pauling
