  Dear Linus and Anita,

  Mama and I have our plans pretty well shaped up for the summer, and I am writing now to ask if it would be possible for you to allow us to visit you at your house in Geneva during August. In particular, would the period 9 to 14 August be satisfactory? If not, would the period 30 July to 4 August be satisfactory? An alternative that may be possible for us is 4 to 9 August.

  The plans for our trip are now pretty well made. We leave Pasadena on 30 May for New York - the next day I am to give the commencement address at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. On Saturday 4 June we fly to Prague and then on 10 June to Moscow, on 10 July to Warsaw, on 15 July to London (Dorchester Hotel until 30 July), then probably to Montpellier, then to Geneva, on 14 August to Cambridge, on 25 August from London to Los Angeles. Barclay and Linda and children as well as Peter and family will be with us in Cambridge from 14 to 25 August. Peter is planning to rent a house for the period, if he can find one. The International Congress of Crystallography is meeting there.

  While in Geneva I am hoping to be able to talk with Ambassadors Wadsworth, Wright, and Tsarapkin about the bomb-test negotiations, and perhaps also to get acquainted with some of the other world organizations. Mama wants to visit the world headquarters of the Woman's International League for Peace and Freedom.

  Linda and Barclay and their two boys are with us at home, while they work hard, getting ready to leave for Europe on the 29th of March. They will be there eighteen months.

  I have been hoping that Mommie and I could come over to Hawaii for a few days, but now I am afraid that my schedule for the coming months is so full that I can’t arrange it. I am worried about finding somebody to serve as Director of Research of the project at the University. President Snyder has written that he is so busy that he can't do much about it. I approached Harvey Itano, but found that he was not interested in moving to Honolulu at the present time, because his work is going along so well in Bethesda.

  I am eager to talk with you about an idea that I am working on. Will you be coming through Pasadena before 30 May? Please let me know as far ahead of time as possible, so that I can arrange my schedule to see you.

  Much love from

  [Linus Pauling]

  P.S. Dear Linie: Mama and I celebrated your birthday yesterday. I bought her a big cymbidium plant, with eight sprays of blossoms on it. I think that she liked this as a "Linie-birthday present". Happy birthday greetings to you!

• Letter from LP to Mr. Benjamin Mandel, Research Director, Internal Security Subcommittee, Committee on the Judiciary, U.S. Senate RE: States that the signatures of the scientists to the petition to the United Nations presented to the Security-General are available for inspection at the United Nations headquarters in New York by any interested person.

  Dear Peter,

  Mama and I were very pleased to receive your letter. We think that it is a fine idea that you rent a house for all of us in Cambridge. We are scheduled to leave London airport at 5:50 P.M. on Thursday 25 August, arriving home at 8:40 P.M. the same day. I suppose that we shall come to Cambridge about Sunday 14 August, but our plans are not very well defined as yet. I haven't asked Linda about their plans, but perhaps I shall do so and let you know.

  At present we plan to be in New York from 30 May to 4 June, in Prague from 5 to 10 June, in Moscow from 10 June to 10 July, in Warsaw from 10 to 15 July, in London (Dorchester Hotel) from 15 to 19 July, in Montpellier from 20 July to 9 August, and in Geneva from 9 to 14 August. There may be changes in our plans later.

  Give my love to Thomas and Julia, and especially to Sarah Susanna.

  Love from

  [Linus Pauling
