  1 Feb., 1961

  Dear Mama and Daddy:

  Subtle is my reasoning. By refusing to pay $110 per month for that little house, I have saved myself $15 per month. For a couple of weeks ago the owner of the little house contacted me, and asked if we were interested at $95 per month. So we are going to move in a couple of weeks. We must be out of here by the 22nd, but will probably stay here until the weekend before, since heat comes included with the rent here, ($105 per month). However, we will start taking things over sooner, so that things won't be too rushed. I plan to paint the living room this weekend, and move some things the following weekend, and move completely the following weekend. Saturday, the 18th, is probably when we'll move, as far as eating and sleeping go. Our new address is:

  4231 East 124th Street; Seattle, 55, Washington

  By the way, thanks for The New Yorker (again) and for IF Stone. IF Stone certainly is illuminating reading. On the whole, I have been favorably impressed with the new administration so far, although I am suspicious of Kennedy's wanting to postpone resumption of the Geneva conferences for a nuclear test ban. If the reasons publicized are genuine, then well and good, but I fear that he is trying to find a graceful way to get out of the talks. I was disturbed to read that the Supreme Court upheld the right of the City of Chicago to insist on prior censorship of movies. This seems to me to be quite a setback to the freedom of the press that we are supposed to have in this country, and surprising, too, in view of the generally favorable decisions that have been handed down in recent years. I cannot understand how censorship of anything, from hard-core pornography and stag movies to DH Lawrence is justified constitutionally, anyway.

  Uncle George has made for Lucy as a present a very nice changing table arrangement, with a nice surface with a little molding to keep the babe from rolling off, shelves, and doors with little racks for powder, lotion, etc. Uncle George's birthday extravaganza is planned for Saturday, 18 March; Dorothy has told me that she plans to send off the invitations next weekend. I know that George will be tickled pink with this affair, and I am sure that he would be especially pleased, if you were to come, Mama.

  My work is going reasonably well, although things never go as fast as I would like. Our Spinco has finally been installed (after seven months), so I am going to resume phage work, at least for a little while. I am going to find myself in the position of working on two projects at once, with two different organisms.

  I am going to be extra busy, with the added business of moving!

  The Satyajit Ray movie trilogy, Pather Penchali, Aparijito, and The World of Apu is playing at a local theatre. I have seen the first one, and judging from it, I doubt that I could take all three in one evening. These movies have received really excellent reviews, and I have read that perhaps they represent the most successful movie trilogy that has ever been attempted.

  Cheryl seems to be developing a quite sensitive nature with regard to music. She can identify several instruments from the sound, such as piano, guitar, trumpet, violin, etc., and can distinguish marches from 'dancing' music. One evening, the radio was playing a G and S, I think The Sorcerer, and Cheryl asked: "Is that The Three Little Maids from School?" Pretty good for three years old, it seems to me. Both the girls have mastered their trikes, and ride all over on nice days, and sometimes in the basement. They also have a wagon, and take turns pulling each other. Our new place will be good for them; they can play in the basement in inclement weather, and the cement driveway is well suited to wheeled toys. Also a nice lawn, for me to mow. There are trees, almond, apple, pear, some roses, space for a small vegetable garden, and annual flowers. I think we will plant some tomatos, at least. Back to Cheryl: we have borrowed a record of Lotte Lenya singing Kurt Weill songs, auf Deutsche, which is one of Cheryls favorite records (along with The Music Man and Peter and the Wolf, which she got for Christmas). One day I said something to Lucy in German, and Cheryl asked: Is that what the lady says on the record?

  I may go to some meetings, Neurospora genetics, in La Jolla early in March. It probably depends if Genetics Training funds will pay for it.

  Crellie has gained nearly two pounds, and one inch. He is a little dear, quite well behaved. He sleeps and eats, although he has his moments when he cries a little, all in all he seems to be getting along a little better than either of the girls did. Perhaps we are getting more casual. We aren't pregnant again YET, I am happy to report.

  Much Love

  Crellin

  6 February 1961

  Dear Paul:

  I am sorry that you have decided (at least initially!) not to sign our Appeal because of the word total in the third line from the bottom.

  I myself believe that we must have total and universal disarmament as our ultimate goal, in that the use of limited force between great nations in fighting limited war, when it is possible to build weapons that can achieve complete destruction, seems to me to be unrealistic except during a transition period.

  I myself have a high opinion of our new President’s wish to achieve disarmament, although he has, I must say, been rather cautious in his pronouncements so far - probably wisely so. I think, however, that there is in fact, contrary to your statement, an urgent necessity for the Appeal right now, not only as far as U.S.A. politics is to be influenced, but for a larger part of the world. You know about the proposals by former Secretary of State Herter, our NATO Commander, and others that the United States turn nuclear weapons over to NATO. This matter is to be discussed at the NATO meeting in May. It is not the only aspect of the world of today that caused my wife and me to decide to write this Appeal.

  With respect to the word "total," I would like to point out that we are not deviating from stated United States policy. On the 27th of October 1960 Ambassador Wadsworth, addressing the Political Committee of the General Assembly of the United Nations, stated (in the words used by The New York Times the next day) that "The United States told the United Nations today that total world disarmament could be achieved within five or six years, with good faith and a 'real sense of urgency' on both sides."

  The direct quotations from Ambassador Wadsworth given in the Times include the following: "We want - earnestly, deeply and sincerely - general and complete disarmament under effective international control. We are not backing off from that one inch. We want to begin progress toward our goal now, to take those measures that can be taken now while at the same time we are trying, concurrently, to solve the problems that lie ahead in reaching the goal of general and complete disarmament."

  I feel sure that President Kennedy and Ambassador Stevenson will not repudiate this as the goal aimed at ultimately by the United States.

  In view of these facts, will you not reconsider? My wife and I hope that both you and Hans will sign the Appeal. Please do not delay.

  Cordially yours,

  [Linus Pauling]

  Dear Mamma,

  Thank you for the card. I have not heard from anyone really. Linus is probably mad at me because I was getting mad at him for not writing and wrote him a rude letter at Christmas. It was just what he deserved I think but I probably should not have sent it. Anyway I am still mad at him because he still has not written.

  In many ways I hope we can come. I need a bit of a break. It would do the kids good and maybe even Julia.

  Do you think the Paddy wants a big party?

  Thomas needs lots of books and magazines. He is a whizz. He can write THOMAS and PETER and draw magnificently.

  (xxx ooo) love,

  Peter

  8 February 1961

  Dear Pete

  Well, finally. You see, if you are patient and wait long enough, anything can happen. So, here's a letter. You should know that I have not written anyone at all during all this time, so my silence has no specificity to you, only to my miserable non-literary bent this year. So, so much for your fancy theories. However, I'll forgive you this time! Even for all those nasty names you called me.

  First, perhaps Mom has written you that she and some others are planning a surprise 60th birthday party for Pop, and thought that it would be nice for him if his offspring could be present. Anita and I, agreeing, have decided to help with the transportation cost, which is quoted to me as being $768.92 tourist round trip jet London-LA. That is US cost, and may be somewhat different there. You can give me back the difference, or I will supply more, depending on who has the higher taxes.

  That is for one ticket only, meaning that we are limiting our contribution to natural issue, but does not mean that spouses aren't invited. It's up to you financially.

  Anita won't be coming on this trip, feeling unable to leave the kids behind. She's looking forward to the summer already, though.

  Then, second, we want to give you all a Christmas present, and decided that perhaps some money would be most useful, and are therefore including $500 in the check. I hope it comes in handy.

  We too are happy that Joy is happy, and are looking forward to seeing her and John Kendrew (whom Anita has met but I have not). We hope to spend some time with them and get to know him better. I'm sorry about Jonk, because I like him too, but maybe that friendship can continue on even without Joy as an intermediary. More about that when I see you.

  What about that tape recorder or something else that I was going to give you? Should I just give up and send you some money instead? Then it would be up to you.

  What about your instrument manufacturing business? Are you in production? How about selling me some stock?

  So, until February 28th, when I hope I see you. Meanwhile Happy Birthday yourself, and we've got a lot to talk about.

  Our love to Julia, and to Thomas and Sarah. We'll see them all next summer, we hope.

  Much Love

  [Linus Pauling, Jr.]

  Thank you for your letters. I am really sorry that I have upset you. It was probably necessary for me to involve you in order to relieve myself but it is not very pleasant for you and I would hope that it would not be necessary. I am feeling much less despondent now, though things are no more settled. I have been trying to get a psychiatrist to talk to who would fill that role that I forced on to you and which now and again I force on my friends of relieving me by listening to me. I have not got it arranged unfortunately but shall try more.

  In many ways you cannot help. There are perhaps two things you can do. One is to love me and to trust me and the other is to give money when it is needed. I have always believed the first and I suppose always shall and I have always expected the second when it would be needed.

  I think I shall probably stay sometime in this country. I like it here quite a lot. I love London. I suppose University College is not worse than other places. My prospects are good. My salary is low it is true but I hope to supplement it. When I am depressed such as I have been and sometimes still am I want to come home, but usually I am on my feet well enough to stand.

  I am, however, very interested in houses per se and in housing as a social institution, and I consider it unfortunate that I did not do something about these problems when I first began to be interested. That is I spend a good deal of time thinking about the problems and various solutions but have nothing to show for it. I shall, moreover, continue to think about these problems. I hope that I shall be in a position to do something.

  There are several solutions to individual housing, I wish very much to live in the centre of London. One advantage on London is that it is the only real city in which I can consider living as a family unit in the centre of.

  The criteria that I have discovered for choosing districts are excellent and I have decided that society follows me and discovers them a few years after I do. That is I how trust my own decisions. To live in town one must have a house, and a big house because there are no little houses. That is if one is to be free. One can rent a flat, but it is not economic and not freedom. The only way to have a big house is to split it somewhat into flats and let them. Besides, it makes money and lots of it. Gross unfurnished rents are about 15% of the capital and houses are appreciating in London at the rate of 15% per annum at the moment. It is a crying shame that I have not been in there. Mike Bernal is certainly much softer that I in social relations and he makes a reasonable landlord. I did not mean a good landlord in the scrooge sense or in the lose money sense but in the social sense. I charge economic prices. I suppose I would not be a landlord by choice, though sometimes I wonder since I am so interested but there is no other solution to this particular set of problems. Besides there are plenty of young couples around to get as tenants. They make company and share problems and babysitting.

  Still what we need at the moment is more space. Say I think Julia has changed a good deal. She is beginning to accept responsibility, not to me or for me but for the children. She thinks about their problems and works on them and does a lot and thinks about the boy’s school and toys and playing. She is still rather strict and sour but she is quite a lot more human I feel.

  Love from

  9 February 1961

  Dear Linus and Anita:

  Mama and I are looking forward to seeing you. I think that I told you that I had an engagement to speak at 11:00 A.M. at Sacramento State College, on 3 April, but that I hoped to get out of it. I find that I have not succeeded in getting out of it, because announcements have been made and it is the opening of a social science forum at the state college scheduled to run through the week.

  Accordingly Mama and I have made reservations on the Pan Am plane from San Francisco to Honolulu, Pan Am 1, leaving San Francisco at 8:45 P.M. and arriving in Honolulu at 11:50 P.M. on the night of Monday 3 April. We look forward to seeing you then.

  We probably shall have to come home on 10 or 11 April, or possibly 12 April. I am speaking in Washington, D. C. on the evening of 13 April and at Stanford University on the morning of 14 April.

  I hope that you can arrange for the talk to be given at the East-West Institute on either 4, 5, or 6 April.

  We have asked Dag Hammarskjold for an appointment in New York for either the 12th, 13th, or 16th of February, and he has not yet replied. We have about 35 Nobel Laureates, 100 members of the National Academy of Sciences of the U.S., 100 Fellows of the Royal Society, and 400 other people, in general well known, who have signed our petition so far.

  Love from

  10 February

  My darling Peter,

  It is your birthday and I send you love. Your letter has come. Linie said he would send money to the siblings (he telephoned from Honolulu) to come to the birthday party. No I think the Paddy won't really like a big party - 200 people at dinner, but I could not stop it. I tried. I think that his children coming to pay him honor will make him terribly happy - perhaps too happy! The FAS is serving as host and you'll get, I think, another invitation. I've been too busy to send for the maps. I think that is a fine idea. I think I'll get California and then later the World.

  We are working day and night on the petition. I think Linie thought perhaps it would be better for you to come without your family but you decide. I still haven't heard from Linda. They are in Davos. This dinner will be students and friends chiefly, I think. DuBridge invited but I doubt if he will come.

  You shouldn't get angry and write hasty letters. I always regret it when I do although sometimes one feels much better. I try to be constructive but don't always succeed.

  Much love and I'd like to make you a birthday cake. Maybe when you are here. If it fits in you should arrive on the 28th and go directly to some friends (I'll arrange it - perhaps impossible if you bring the children but we must try. I'll write details.)

  Hugs and kisses

  Mama

  I enclose a check in case Linie didn't mean what he said over the telephone.

  12 February

  Dear Julia, dear Peter, dear Thomas, dear Sarah,

  I feel very bad about not getting your Christmas box off. Here I have stuffed in the closet several nice things and yet I haven't got to it. I think one reason is that I feel I haven't quite enough to make a really exciting box. Also I'm so dreadfully busy. Julia, Linda left a pair of very nice loafers which she said to send to you. They are very practical, good looking brown walking shoes and I'll include them if you want them.

  How are you all? We have 19 pure bred registered polled Herefords! Lovely red curly haired white faced beasts without horns. There will soon be nine calves aborning so we shall have a real herd. Also I've gone horse back riding and it is a trick when the slope is like this [diagram of steep slope] or more nearly like this [diagram of very steep slope] or so it seems! I mean to have my own horse if ever we move up there.

  We have all sorts of plans, one even doesn't wait for retirement in ten years but goes right now. That is the one I like to think about the best. What do you think of this rubber stamp? I think the AHP is a bit too prominent and the address not large enough. We had nothing to do with making it. It was ordered by our volunteer helpers of whom we've had a goodly number - some good, some not so good.

  Have you heard from Linda? She is having a good time in Davos, I judge. I hope she hasn't broke her neck. She has a good girl to help her with the boys.

  Have you had the flu yet? We read about the great epidemic there. We haven't been ill so far this winter - just exhausted! On my birthday (we had driven to the ranch) I went to bed at 5:30 PM after having had a nap and slept until 7:30 AM. You can guess how weary I was. I hope we'll give up some of this activity before long. There are many things I'd like to do so I think I'll never lack for something. I'm having good luck and good fun with my African violets. I like best the first appearance of the big leaves at the base of the large leaf I've stuck in H₂O. The Paddy says I must come and look at a movie of him - with sound! We have a movie projector. This is a lecture I think - I'll tell you about it later.

  13 February 1961

  Dear Director Jahn:

  I am pleased to have received your letter of 6 February, which reached me just after I had sent a letter to you.

  I am glad that there is a strong fight against having atomic weapons on Norwegian soil, and that my former pupil Professor Bastiansen is taking a good part in it. My wife and I are very fond of Bastiansen - he is a fine man.

  In three days now I shall fly to New York to present the new petition to Dag Hammarskjold and to make a public announcement about it. I think that my wife will not go with me, although she would like to do so. Circumstances are such that I shall have to take the plane at midnight Wednesday night, arrive in New York Thursday morning, present the petition to the United Nations, hold a press conference, and then catch a plane back to Los Angeles the same afternoon, Thursday. I have decided that, rather than have my wife submit to such a strenuous schedule for a night and day, it is better for me to go alone.

  During the last month we have gathered the signatures of 38 Nobel Laureates and about 100 Fellows of the Royal Society, as well as about 100 members of the U. S. National Academy of Sciences, to this petition. We are now printing 10,000 copies, with space on each sheet for ten signatures, in order that a mass collection of signatures can be made.

  I have been disturbed by the statements made by Professor Freeman J. Dyson of the Institute of Advanced Study, Princeton. His article "The Future Development of Nuclear Weapons" is, I think, not a well-balanced one, in that he discusses future developments that have extremely small probability, so far as the future of the next ten or twenty or thirty years is concerned.

  I have made a copy of the article, and I enclose it. It is not a very good copy, but I think that you can read it.

  First, let me answer your question as to what a strategic atomic weapon is.

  During recent years the people who have been analyzing the question of the possible nature of nuclear war have introduced the term strategic atomic weapons and the term tactical atomic weapons. They seem to use these terms in the following way: strategic atomic weapons are the great weapons with great destructive power, which might be used to destroy the enemy country completely, smashing the cities flat and killing most of the people. Tactical atomic weapons are small weapons that might be used by an army in the field to attack another army, in such a way that the first army, after the attack, is able to move into the territory occupied by the second army I think that in a rough way one can say that strategic atomic weapons are weapons in the megaton class, like the 20-megaton bomb that was exploded by the United States on the first of March 1954; similar bombs have been exploded also by the U.S.S.R. and Great Britain. It is bombs of this sort that are carried in the Polaris rockets of the Polaris submarines and that are presumably also carried by the short range and long range rockets.

  Tactical atomic weapons are weapons in the kiloton range. Probably the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs, with explosive energy equal to twenty kilotons of TNT, might be considered tactical atomic weapons, in that the range of great destruction would not extend more than a few miles from the hypocenter, and the danger from fallout and from neutron-induced radioactivity would not be very great after a few days. The military forces seem to be interested also in much smaller weapons. So far as I am aware, the smallest atomic bomb that has been tested had an explosive energy of only seventy tons of TNT. It contained, however, about as much plutonium as a 20-kiloton bomb. It had been adjusted in such a way that only about one percent or perhaps a still smaller fraction of the plutonium underwent the fission reaction during the explosion. The costs of one of these small atomic bombs is just about the same as that of a 20-kiloton bomb. The amount of explosive material is about the same, approximately ten pounds of plutonium, which costs $64,000.

  The principal point that Dyson makes in his article is that it might be possible at some time in the future to achieve a fusion reaction on a small scale, using deuterium or tritium or lithium in some combination, with the reaction set off by use of ordinary high explosives (TNT) or in some other way, not yet discovered. The possibility of making small bombs that involve only fission is closely related to the problem of making fusion power plants.

  Dyson in his article gives the impression that there is reasonable hope (or fear) that this might be achieved in the immediate future; that is, in the period of time that is significant with respect to the disarmament negotiations that are now going on among the great powers.

  I think that Dyson's article is grossly misleading, in that it gives this impression. The fact is that physicists generally are rather pessimistic about the possibility of developing fusion as a source of power during the next 25 years. Moreover, the problem of developing fusion power is a far simpler one than that of developing a weapon based upon fusion alone.

  Although, of course, I know that it is dangerous to make categorical statements about future discoveries, I myself feel that it is highly improbable that any development of the sort suggested by Dyson could be achieved in the next fifty years, even if the nations were to continue along the path of increasing military activity and increasing antagonism.

  There are some possibilities that need to be considered, such as that of manufacturing in some way a supply of mesons that would bring the deuterons of heavy hydrogen so close together that they would undergo the fission reaction. The practical problems connected with the schemes of this sort that one might devise are so great as to make it seem now that they could never be overcome. Nevertheless, we cannot, of course, deny that there is a possibility that something will be discovered by the physicists during the next ten or twenty years that would change the situation.

  There are some of the statements that Dyson makes that I agree with. I too feel that we cannot have permanent peace in the world until secrecy is abandoned by the U.S.S.R. However, it is expected that the negotiations toward disarmament would bring the abandonment of secrecy by the U.S.S.R., as one consequence of disarmament.

  One important point about Professor Dyson's paper is this. He is talking about a possibility (in my opinion an extremely small possibility) that a nation such as the U.S.S.R., that continues to carry on vigorous research on weapons might succeed in making tactical weapons that depend upon fission only - small atomic bombs - and that it might make these weapons by the hundreds of thousands. This development would not change the situation at all with respect to the big bombs, which can destroy the United States and the U.S.S.R, and other parts of the world. These big bombs can now be made cheaply enough and in large enough quantity to do the whole job. The discoveries about fission that he foresees would not change the world situation with respect to big bombs at all, because the amount of plutonium required to explode a big bomb is so small that its cost is not an important factor.

  Please let me know if there are any points about this matter that you would like me to discuss further.

  Sincerely yours,

  [Linus Pauling]

  16 February 1961

  Dear Mr. Hammarskjold:

  Three years ago we presented to you a petition to the United Nations urging that an international agreement to stop the testing of nuclear bombs be made. This petition was signed by 11,021 scientists, of 49 countries.

  We now submit to you the accompanying petition, which urges that the present nuclear powers not transfer nuclear weapons to other nations or groups of nations, that all nations not now possessing these weapons voluntarily refrain from obtaining or developing them, and that the United Nations and all nations increase their efforts to achieve total and universal disarmament with a system of international controls and inspection such as to insure to the greatest possible extent the safety of all nations and all people.

  This petition is submitted by us and by our 708 cosigners, whose names accompany the petition, as individuals. No organization has been responsible for the planning or the writing of the petition or for the collection of signatures.

  During recent months we have become more and more concerned about the trend of world affairs, which has seemed to us to be such as to be leading to an increase in the danger of a devastating world war. One month ago we decided to take action. We wrote the Appeal to Stop the Spread of Nuclear Weapons, which is the petition that we are submitting to you, and on 15 January 1961 we sent copies of the Appeal to some of our fellow scientists and other friends and acquaintances in many countries and to some people whose names we obtained from reference books, with the request that they sign, as expressed in the following letter:

  In response to these letters we received within less than one month the signatures of over 700 people, of 38 countries. Among the signers are 38 Nobel Laureates, 110 Members and Foreign Associates of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States, 102 Fellows and Foreign Members of the Royal Society of London, and 21 members of the Academy of Sciences of the U.S.S.R., as well as other distinguished men and women in many countries.

  We feel that the problem of achieving international control of armaments, leading ultimately to total and universal disarmament, would be greatly complicated and increased in difficulty if many nations or groups of nations were to have stockpiles of nuclear weapons. We hope that the spread of nuclear weapons to more nations or groups of nations can be delayed long enough to permit an effective attack to be made on the problem of achieving peace and disarmament in the world.

  Sincerely Yours,

  [Linus Pauling]

  17 February

  Dear Peter,

  You are right. Come when you can and come home! I was persuaded to this secrecy business by the eager beavers here but also I must admit by my liking to really be able to fool the Paddy. You know how I work with the candied walnuts each Christmas! I agree that it would be too much but I didn't think it would be possible either to do it. Too, I want these mutts here not to go around blabbing - people like Betty Tyler who I fear has already given the party away - but thank God soesn't know aobut you kids.

  I'm so happy to think you'll be here. Come as soon as you can. Stay as long as you can. Bring all - you know you are welcome. Crellie coming the 24th but he has written the Paddy that he is being sent to La Jolla around the 1st of March to look at some neurospera work there. I must say the Paddy fell for that! I guess that should satisfy me.

  Love to all. I must write to Linda and Linie - a family reunion - how splendid! What fun! Hugs and kisses to all of you!

  Mama

  20 February 1961

  Dear Phil:

  I am pleased to think about the problem of selecting a chairman of the Chemistry Department at Rutgers, and to make a suggestion to you.

  I think that Professor Charles D. Coryell, who for a number of years has been in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, would be a fine man for the job. He worked with me for a number of years, in the thirties. He is an inorganic chemist, physical chemist, and nuclear chemist. He is an authority on fission products, as well as on magnetic properties of substances, structural inorganic chemistry, hemoglobin, compounds of silver, and other subjects. He is full of energy and full of ideas. He has strong opinions about teaching and research, and I think would do an excellent job in increasing the quality and quantity of your graduate and postgraduate research programs, mentioned in your letter.

  With best regards, I am

  Sincerely yours,

  [Linus Pauling]

  24 February 1961

  Dear Peter,

  Mama and I are happy that we shall be seeing you this summer. We are coming to Europe in April, but not to England. However, when we come again in August, to go to Moscow, we probably shall be able to visit you.

  We are issuing invitations to a Conference Against the Spread of Nuclear Weapons that we are arranging, to be held in Oslo 2 to 7 May. No organization is involved, except some of the members of the Protest mot Atomvăpen, such as Otto Bastiansen, are helping with the local arrangements. Mama and I plan to fly from New York to Paris on Friday 21 April. We have some sort of an affair to attend in the City Hall in Paris on Saturday 22 April, and on Sunday we shall probably go to Montpellier, where Professor Jean Salvinien has arranged a meeting of a society of physical biochemistry - I shall present a paper on my new theory of general anesthesia. We are going to stay with the Salvinien’s in their house. Also, I shall at that time receive my honorary doctorate from the University of Montpellier. Probably on Saturday 29 April we shall then fly to Oslo, to help in getting ready for the Conference. The Conference is followed by a NATO meeting (to which I have not been invited) 7 to 10 May, and Mama and I probably shall fly to New York on 11 May, take part in a meeting at Carnegie Hall, and then go home that weekend.

  The letter on the opposite side is one that we are sending out with copies of the printed petition to people in the United States and Canada. I am sending a different letter to Bertrand Russell and Canon Collins, etc., asking that they reproduce the petition and gather signatures.

  I judge that no replies came to you from China.

  You will note from the back side of the printed petition that Outer Mongolia...

  I hope that you do not mind that we did not put your name down in the printed list. We thought that we shouldn't have too many Pauling's.

  I enclose my check for $2,500, with the suggestion that you use it for a down payment in case that some property that appeals to you turns up - it might tide you over until we can answer any cable that you might send.

  Mama and I love you very much.

  I was pleased to see your interesting article on nickel bis acetyl acetone. When are you going to publish the research in your thesis?
