- Letter from Crellin Pauling to LP and AHP. [Filed under LP Biographical: (Family Correspondence: Edward Crellin Pauling, 1930-1995), Box #5.048, Folder #48.8]
4 January 1961
Dear Man-of-the-Year, Dear Mama:
At 5:30 AM on 31 December, E.C.P. Jr. came out. He weighed 3.64 kg and was (is) 20½ inches long. He is very handsome and very, very good. He doesn't cry much. Lucy is nursing, and, because of careful preparation this time, is having a very good time of it. He has lots of black hair, in general looks quite a lot like the sweet little girls looked, except for one important difference. Lucy had a short labor, 3½ hrs. I tried to watch, but at the critical time had to leave. Alas. Anyway, I went back, and was there while Lucy was being sewn up, and while the placenta was being withdrawn. The little girls are very interested in the baby, want to hold him, etc.; sibling rivalry doesn't manifest itself as sharply as I was afraid it might, but we are trying to be as careful as we can about this. I will write more later.
Love,
Crellin

Dear Mr. Esslinger:
I thank you for sending me your book Politics and Science. I have read it with great interest. It is a wonderful book. It is rarely that I have read a book that has impressed me so deeply with its clarity and significance.
I have learned so much from the book that I am sure that from now on I shall be indebted to you to some extent whenever I speak or write about world problems.
I hope that it will be possible for your book to be published in pocket book form, in order to make it available to more people.
With best wishes, I am
Sincerely yours,
[Linus Pauling]
