  17 March 1960

  Dear Peter,

  I am writing to ask a question about academic costume.

  Will you have a doctor’s cap and gown for University of London by July of this year? I would be glad to give you the money to buy one, as a present to you, provided that you would let me wear it once - I have a doctor's degree from University of London, and so I think that it would be all right. I am planning, as you know, to take part in the Tercentenary Celebration of the University of London, and I think that academic costume is in order for the opening meeting. I doubt that I would go to the trouble of bringing my academic costume, but I would take part and wear yours if you were to have it. Please let me know, so that I can send you money for its purchase, in case that you are agreeable to the idea.

  Mama and I are eager to see you and Julia and Thomas and Sarah.

  I am pleased that Ingold mentioned you in a recent letter to me, saying that he and his associates think that they are lucky to have you at University College, and making some other similar remarks.

  Love from

  [Linus Pauling]
