  Letter 2

  What I said about money applies to you too, of course, except that when I have a specific request, then it is only proper that control rest essentially with you.

  Joy was up the other day. She was going to look at our house but it had already fallen through.

  Though now I am not interested in house purchase since I think that I shall probably leave here in a year or two I shall tell you why I have wanted to buy. Firstly, the tax system and the economic situation of this country is such that it is cheaper to purchase a house for a period of two years or more than any other possible means of living. That is, interest is tax deductible, unfurnished rents have been cheap and unobtainable do to the control, now they are obtainable but expensive. That is one pays rent and it is lost, one buys, the interest on the mortgage is tax deductible and the capital payments are a form of saving.

  Secondly, as I told you in a letter some years ago, if I had a house,(a payed for house) it would be equivalent to an allowance without strings, and I don't know whether you approve of allowances without strings (see letter 1), but I do.

  I shall write you another letter on the points of house purchases and other interesting things. I must go home now and I have really run down.

  Much love to you and Anita and the kids,

  [Peter Pauling]
