Letter from LP to Crellin Pauling. [Filed under LP Biographical: (Family Correspondence: Family Correspondence: Edward Crellin Pauling, 1930-1995), Box #5.048, Folder #48.8]

28 September 1961

Dear Crellin,

I enclose an envelope addressed to the District Director Internal Revenue Service in Pasadena. Mr. Williams asked me to have you write to him, giving the following information for the year 1959 and also for the year 1960:

1. The amount of your taxable income.

2. The amount of contribution by Mama and me to your support.

3. Question as to whether you and Lucy filed a joint return or filed separate returns.

4. Whether or not Lucy worked during these years and had any income.

5. Were your children claimed as dependents on your tax return.

Now I can tell you what our situation is. I claimed you, Lucy, and the two children as dependents in 1959 and also 1960, on the grounds that Mama and I had contributed fifty percent of your income and that you had not been claimed as dependents by anybody else. I am not sure that this was right, but it was my understanding.

I have looked through Mama's checkbooks and have found checks totaling $2085 for 1959, made out to you. In addition you lived in our house for two or three months, which constitutes further support. I have only found checks for $920 during 1960, but Mama says that the yearly support was larger, and in addition you lived in our house that summer.

Please send the answers to the questions to Mr. Williams in the enclosed envelope. He would like to have them by Monday.

Much love from

[Linus Pauling]
