Dear Davies and Dacre:
I am looking forward to seeing you toward the end of June.
I have in mind that you might work with Dr. Frank Catchpool on the anesthetic activity of various anesthetic agents in gold fish. Dr. Catchpool and Dr. Cherkin have developed a satisfactory technique for this purpose, and there are some interesting experiments to be done.
I have asked Dr. Catchpool to give you advice about places to live in Pasadena.
I suggest that you write directly to him, at this address, telling him just when you plan to arrive in Pasadena. Perhaps he will write to you about the possible accommodations for you.
Sincerely yours,
Dictated by Linus Pauling
Signed in his absence:rh

Dear Menachem:
The article on the peace movement and control of medical radiation by Allen Klein, of which you sent me galley proofs, seems to me to be very good, and I advocate its publication.
Cordially
Linus Pauling:lh
P.S. Would you be interested in reprinting my article on genetic effects of weapons tests, which was published in the December 1962 issue of Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists? I enclose a reprint. I give you my permission, but it may be necessary also to get permission of the Bulletin.
L.P.

Dear Mr. Bayse:
In reply to your letter of December 27, 1963, and the enclosed manuscript, "The Eternal Circle," I must say that your interesting speculations on matter, space, and time have puzzled philosophers and scientists since the time of the ancient Greeks.
Some of your statements are inaccurate, such as the one which asserts that the life span of animals and plants depends on their size. Some relatively small animals, such as turtles, birds, and fish have longer life spans than man -- and man has a longer life span than the horse.
I think you will be happy to know that conferences of scientists, such as you suggest, are held periodically throughout the world, and that they do indeed lead to valuable results.
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling:ga

Dear Crellin,
Thank you very much for your letter. I think you made a very clear and very nice statement of a certain kind of relationship that can exist between people. I think this is a restricted class of relationships however, and does not cover the practical situation that exists in a great many of the relationships between men and women.
As far as I know, Anita tried very hard to arrange so that she and Linus and their children could develop their lives fully within the marriage. It seems to me this divorce is probably a good thing under the circumstances and that Anita and Linus and the children will be better able to live their lives completely. I am a little worried about Linus. He came through here a week ago and strikes me as being rather unhappy. The new circumstances remove several of the problems with which he had to cope and I think couldn't, and increases his security and the practical tools available to him with which to cope with life. I think, for example, that you are more emotionally secure than Linus.
Please will you write a cheque to Geodesic Structures Inc. $15.40 and send it with the enclosed letter to Geodesic Structures Inc. Box 308, Park Water Station Spokane 6 Washington (Telephone No. Keystone 4-3323) which asks them to send to you certain materials? Will you then reship the materials when they come to you to me at University College? Perhaps you should ring them up and ask them for current prices and for the shipping costs before sending off the letter. Thank you very much. The currency control situation is so complicated that it is easier for me to ask you to do this than to try to do it directly. You owe me $15 from that $150 that I sent you and I'll owe you the rest of it.
Are you coming to Europe this summer? I am still uncertain about our plans, though I still think it likely that we shall be in California. The National Institutes of Health are very slow.
With love to Lucy and the children,

Dear Linus,
I was very pleased that you came to London and to see you; I hope you can stay longer next time, though I am so emotionally involved with you I do have trouble saying what I want to say and what I think I should say to you.
Will you please send me $334; that is £115 - $322 (at $2.80). I t seems to me reasonable that you and I split the cost of our outing to Brighton and I have included $12 for this (rail fare £2.16.0d., dinner £5, taxis and drinks £l.4.0d. = £9 = $25 x ½ = $12).
I am sorry you were disturbed about being made late to visit Joy. Joy herself has a fairly flexible attitude towards appointments; she never gets anywhere on time. I knew that she would not want you to leave a dinner party early in order to go see her, but rather finish what you are doing if you are enjoying it and then come see her. I am sorry you both became so tired by staying up so late. I talked with Joy a long time after putting you on that plane. She was really very tired.
I wish that you would come and spend some time in London perhaps working in some clinical way at some place like the Maudsley and try out my friends Lyseigic acid. I would like you to try it just as an experiment. I think it can do a great deal though probably not everything. I would suggest that you try it in Honolulu with the aid of a colleague, but this may be impossible and is rather dangerous. Perhaps you would prefer California. You and I are alike in a great many ways, though I think you are more frightened than I am probably mostly because the eldest suffers most. Anyway this LSD process is relatively painless, it requires very little of your or anyone else's time. I think it works by removing the fears involved in early emotional and practical problems. I think you and I have a great many emotional and practical problems; the emotional problems make us unable to deal with the practical problems to our own satisfaction.
Do you still own a Hi-Fi shop? If so can you get them to please keep an eye out for roe for a second-hand Sherwood S3000 III FM tuner in good condition? They should be available second-hand from people who are purchasing the new stereo multiplex tuners. It will be a long time before stereo broadcasting begins here in a real way and then it will be done with typical British compromise involving sending one signal by donkey. Actually the S-3000 III has provision for a multiplexer addition, and the older version without this provision would probably do me just as well. If you can get hold of it fairly cheaply, I could use an S-2200 FM/AM tuner as an AM and spare FM set. These are probably not available cheaply.
With love from,

Dear Pa,
Thank you for your letter, it still takes me a long time to do anything. You are quite right about my English: my usage is neither English English nor American English; it is just Wrong English.
I am sorry to hear that Mamma has been ill. I hope she is better now. What is it that she has had?
I think you should try not to make College Chemistry too difficult. You already have a pretty difficult book and I think you should express your educational standards in it, and use College Chemistry as a realistic means of educating the ignorant.
Would you like to write a High School Chemistry text in collaboration with some flunkey to do the hackwork? Or, more important, would you write a High School Chemistry text? My company, Modern Textbooks, Inc. (which consists of me) would like very much for you to write such a book. We would offer you $10,000 cash and all your expenses for the manuscript of a High School Chemistry text complete with drawings. We would like to have the manuscript by 1 October 1964 and we would prefer to enter into some form of contract with you. I hope that you can write this book and that we can come to some agreement.
Our summer plans are still uncertain. I have not yet heard from the National Institutes of Health about my research grant, though I had hoped to start on 1 May. I think I run a good chance, and wish they would come through. There are lots of other things to do. I am also a little disappointed with my friends in California. I am not really sure what we can accomplish there. I may not be able to get everything going during the summer in California. I hope, however, that we can come; I would like very much to spend sometime with you and to talk with you about many things.
Our house is coming along. The Electricians have almost finished. Sheila is typing the last of the specifications today. It is too bad that I have been so slow. It has been just part of my frightened and aimless wander through life. I hope to change this.
Linus Junior was here for a couple of days. I enjoyed very much seeing him. He, Julia, Jean Dollimore (you remember the Mathematician who works with me) and I went to Brighton for the day to look at a private collection of primitive art which Linus was interested in. We had a very good time, though Linus is not at his ease and I think does not enjoy life as much as he should or could. I am rather worried about him.
With love to you and Mamma,
Peter

Dr. Günther Anders
Wein-Mauer
Vreistaadeg 40, Austria
Dear Dr. Anders,
I am happy to have your letter of the 4th of May and am glad that you have received the issue of The Minority of One in which we have written an article about the Oxford Conference. I cannot tell you how sorry we were that you were not there. This conference was, I think, the most despicable one that could be imagined. We have refrained in our article from telling about the effort made to keep us from attending and how the official American delegation had not told Collins that we had arrived. They also held their first meeting on the day without telling us that they were having the meeting and indeed behaved in a very small way.
I am convinced that we cannot get anywhere in the peace movement by relying on the professional peace people. They have as much of a stake in the status quo as the military and indeed when one thinks about it one can see why. What need would there be for a fellowship of reconciliation for example in a properly run society?
I want to talk with you about Claude Eartherly. We have just returned from a speaking tour and happened to run into a reporter at the airport in New York. He had come to have an interview with my husband and he said that he had just returned from visiting Eartherly in Galveston and that Eartherly was in such a condition that he doubted the authenticity of the letters between you and Eartherly.
We previously had seen a reporter about a year ago who had visited Eartherly and he too was disturbed by the fact that Eartherly seemed so unaware of what is going on in the world.
It seems certain that Eartherly is living in Galveston and is not being harassed by anyone but also all news that we have been able to get seems to suggest that he is no longer the person that he was. We do not know the reason for this.
I assured the reporter in New York that the letters were certainly genuine and that we knew you and were convinced of your sincerity in this matter.
We have not thought it wise to try and get in touch with Eartherly because we have hot wanted to increase his difficulties and the situation seemed to be now such that we no longer would have a right from a civil liberties standpoint to take any action.
It seems very strange to me, however, and I think that there are many things which are not as they should be but I do not know if there is anything that can be done. Your book has had a wide circulation and there has been a good bit of discussion of it in various places. In St. Peter, Minnesota, where we have just been and my husband and I addressed a luncheon meeting of about one thousand people, and there were several questions about Claude Eartherly and your letters with him. The professor of religion there is a most interesting and intelligent man, named Emmer Engberg, who used to be the pastor of the Lutheran Church here in Pasadena and who worked with us a good bit on questions of civil liberties and on the problem of discrimination. He is interested in peace and in mankind and had given your book Burning Conscience as a reference book in his class for the students to read. Apparently many of them had read it and became quite interested in Eartherly.
To go back to the peace movement and to how we should proceed, I want to say that it is very discouraging. You are quite right in saying that it has been successful in Japan too. The people who wish to destroy the peace movement, I mean, have been successful in Japan. It is a tragedy that this organization which has done so much is now being fragmented. About organizing an international meeting where real constructive papers might be given— I do not believe that there is anything to be gained by having a congress which is composed solely of the professional peace people, that is, the executive directors of the various peace groups are not, first of all, of an intellectual calibre to make any very valid suggestion or have indeed a meaningful discussion.
Also, I believe, that any conference which sets out to set up an anti-communist peace organization and makes that the basis of all discussion is of no value.
We look forward to seeing you again, and we wish you and your wife everything good. Please give our greetings to Robert Jungk when you see him.
Best wishes,
Ava Helen Pauling

Dear Peter:
I was pleased to received your letter.
Mama went to Berkeley yesterday. She is staying with the Hultgrens. Today she is speaking at the University, on the invitation of some undergraduate group. She is going to come home on Thursday.
You may remember that she had a fever in London. She got worse a day or so after we got home, in January, and after she had got pretty sick and had a high fever for two or three days she was weak enough to let me get a doctor for her - the partner of Bob Boyd came out to see her and prescribe some antibiotic. This got rid of the fever, and she had a slow recovery, staying in bed for over a month.
She got along alright on a lecture tour for the American Friends Service Committee, in March.
Then Bob Boyd checked up on her and found bacteria in the urine. He gave her another antibiotic, during a period of about one week. She seems to be feeling better, but has not yet had a check to see whether or not the bladder infection or kidney infection has been brought under control. I hope that she will do this soon, but perhaps she will not be able to do it until we get back from New York.
On Sunday we are going to New York, because the libel suit that I filed some time ago against the New York Daily News is to come up for trial. My attorney in this case, Mr. Hoague, estimates that it will last about ten days.
As to your suggestion about a High School Chemistry text, I am thinking about it, and W. H. Freeman Company (Stan Shaffer) is much interested in it. However, I can see that there is no possibility of my beginning work on it for about a year. I have a good assistant now, who might be valuable in this work - it is Gus Albrecht, whom you probably do not remember. He has been teaching in Junior Colleges or City Colleges during recent years.
Dr. Albrecht has been helpful to me in connection with College Chemistry, but I have another man working for me who was less helpful. My experience indicates pretty clearly that the author of a book has to plan on doing practically all the work himself - or the authors, if there are two.
I am not interested in your offer, because I think the manuscript of a High School Chemistry text would be worth far more than the sum of $10,000, over a period of twenty years (during which the book would have to be revised several times). I am still hoping to find a good co-author.
I suppose that I may have made College Chemistry too difficult, in preparing the third edition. Perhaps I can simplify it again when I prepare the fourth edition.
Much love from

They are confident in their agent's abilities to find them an editor, despite the problems they see themselves facing.

Dear Stan:
I enclose a page from Science" for 11 May 1962. It contains an advertisement by Prentice-Hall, Inc., Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey.
At the upper left side of the page there is a drawing showing an atom of uranium 235 in the process of fission, after having interacted with a neutron. If the page is rotated through 90°, it can be seen that the drawing has with essentially no doubt been copied from the last figure in my books College Chemistry and General Chemistry.
This figure was in the first edition of the book and has been in every edition of this College Chemistry and General Chemistry, and in the translations.
The points of identity between my drawing and the copy are enumerous. At the left side of the drawing a neutron is shown approaching the uranium nucleus. It approaches from the upper right, at just the same angle in the Prentice-Hall drawing as in my drawing.
The middle part shows the nucleus in the process of fission. The deformed nucleus is shown with an upper curvature, essentially identical with that in my drawing. At the right of the drawing the two daughter nuclei are shown, with exactly the same relative positions, with respect to the axis of the drawing, as in my drawing. Moreover, they occupy the same positions on the page relative to the center of mass. On the right side there are five neutrons, and on the left side four. Starting at the top, on the right side, there is a neutron far out, one close in, one far out, one close in, and one far out, exactly as in my drawing. On the left side there is one far out, one at an intermediate distance, one close in, and one farther out, as in my drawing. Eight of the nine neutrons are in essentially identical positions in the two drawings, and the ninth is a little closer to the center in the Prentice-Hall drawing than in mine (which was, of course, made by Roger Hayward).
I think that the probability that the drawing was not copies from my books is so small as to be essentially non-existent.
I recognize that there is the possibility that permission was given by W. H. Freeman Company for the drawing to be copied. You probably can check the files to find out whether or not this was done.
I remember that some years ago a book appeared containing a good number of drawings that had been copied from my College Chemistry. It is my memory that the company made some restitution to W. H. Freeman Company.
I think that it might be worthwhile to have your lawyer write to Prentice-Hall and to ask for some sort of payment for this drawing.
Cordially yours,
Linus Pauling:hpg

Dear Peter:
Thank you for your letter. Perhaps so, Linus sent us a nice letter some time ago, and I agree that he doesn't appear too happy.
I have sent off your letter and a check to Geodesic Structures. I trust they will let me know if everything is not in order. I shall send the material on to you as soon as it comes.
I don’t think that I will get to Europe this summer. No money. The NIH is getting tight as far as overseas travel is concerned. However, I have submitted an abstract to the Genetics Society Meetings, which will be at Amherst, Mass, at the end of August. My fellowship has a little money for going to meetings in this country.
I hope that you can come over during the summer. Mama has talked about having another reunion if you do. That would be fun.
I have missed a couple weeks of work with a bad ear infection. Fortunately it is clearing up, I think.
We are having marvelous spring weather. Temperature in the 70’s. It is frustrating as hell to be ill.
What is the status of the Merc? Linus mumbled something about buying it back, and also said mom had an offer of $3000 for it. Lucy and I have had dreams of acquiring it sometime, but I’m afraid not very realistic dreams. But then, dreams aren't supposed to be realistic.

Dear Mr. Berg:
I was pleased to receive your letter and to learn about your work and your plans. I congratulate you on having been elected a Junior Fellow of the Harvard Society of Fellows. This will give you a good opportunity to follow your own interests.
Also, I am grateful to you for describing the experiments with the atomic hydrogen maser that you are carrying on. It is fine that some powerful new methods are being developed.
I shall be interested to see what field you finally decide to concentrate on. I think that high-energy physics is very interesting, but so competitive, and so difficult for me to follow, that I have tended to ignore it. Moreover, I like to do things on my own. Molecular Biology is progressing very well. Experimental work in the field is apt to be very laborious, although occasional experiments that are simple and brilliant are carried out.
I have been interested to read your comparison of the house system at Harvard with that of the California Institute of Technology. In past years I have visited the Harvard houses several times – once or twice at the invitation of Ronald Ferry, who was master of one of the houses. I shall try to accept your open invitation to Dunster at some time in the future, although now I have no plan to come to Cambridge
I think that the annual report will be out in about two months. I have asked Mrs. Wulf to send a copy to you when it is available.
With best regards, I am
Sincerely yours,

Wilhelmpl 4
Kiel, Western Germany
Dear Heinrich:
I was happy to receive your letter and also to receive the copy of your book with Professor Kienzle, which I have examined with interest.
Ava Helen and I are getting along well. We are in good health, although perhaps not quite so good as during previous years. We have a country place, on the coast of the Pacific ocean, and try to go there for a few days every month or so.
We are both pleased to learn that your mother is enjoying her beautiful garden and that she is still in reasonably good health. Please give her our best regards.
Are you still working on the map problem? I think that I say have told you that my cousin, Mr. Richard Morgan (whose mother was a sister of my mother), has been interested in this problem and thinks that he has found a solution. He is not thoroughly trained as a mathematician, although he was for a while a student in the California Institute of Technology, and he has had some trouble in getting advice about his work. I told him that I am sure that you would be willing to read his paper and to advise him, and I think that he will send you his manuscript before long.
With best regards,
Linus Pauling:hpg

Dear Peter,
As you can see I am here in Athens and took part in this great march from marathon to Athens in which some 300,000 people took part. Some estimates were as high as 500,000! I spoke at the big rally in Athens. This very march was forbidden last year and Lambrakis was murdered. This one this year was in memory of Lambrakis and the most popular figure in the march, the Theodorakis who is the M.P. form Lambrakis’ constituency.
You have been told perhaps of my experience in Holland. I simply decided I would not bribe those pompous officials with my name and they fell into the traps very well. Otherwise the [?] would not have reversed its decision and the meeting could not have taken place.
I am sorry not to see you. I’m not sure these meetings are worthwhile. There was a supper last night – much singing dancing at the end of the Greek type and I was certainly a hit* (*For trying rather than for perfection). I can’t believe I am here alone and am getting terribly lonely for the Daddy and I don’t even like seeing these wonderful things that I've waited all my life to see without sharing them these emotions and wonder with him.
I go back to Copenhagen on Friday then home on Saturday the 23.
I'm sorry not to have seen you and Julia and the children. When we come in June perhaps. I am eager to get home and to get moved. When are you coming to the United States?
These Greek people are magnificent and they are joyful and gay and know what life and love and loyalty and freedom are.
Mama

20th May, 1963
Dear Daddy,
Thank you very much for you letter of 14 May which I was pleased to get. I am sorry that Mamma has been so ill. These urinary infections seem to be very bad in women. Several women I know have had acute cases which were very painful and lasted for some time. Julia has had a sort of chronic infection for a long time which seems to come and go. I think it is partially psychosomatic but even so the infection and pain is real enough.
I myself had cystisis when I returned from our trip to Stockholm in 1955. I thought it was a social disease could not understand it. Fortunately Elizabeth Kendrew understood the real nature of things and soon had me cured. It never hurt me but it seems to be very painful for women.
I am sorry you will not consider my offer about a High School Chemistry text. I think it would be of social value for you to write such a text; I think it would be a good book and a valuable contribution to society. I might point out two things. 1) You are likely to have trouble spending that million dollars over twenty years, and 2) I am your son.*
I am still uncertain about our summer plans and am getting rather discouraged. I look forward to the time when I have organized life to the extent that many things will be less uncertain. If the National Institutes of Health come through, I still plan to come to California for the summer.
If we come I hope that it will be possible to stay with you. I think there might well be frictions of various sorts but overall I am sure it would be very enjoyable.
Work is going reasonably well. I am trying very hard to get a couple of papers out. I am worried that the department is falling apart due to the retirement of Professor Ingold and the ambition of Professor Nyholm and other causes. It worries me that second-rate people seem to be being appointed to the permanent staff and this is likely to fill the place up in such a way as to make it very difficult to get things moving.
I went to Cambridge to the Kendrew Empire on Wednesday and am rather discouraged by it. There seems to be a good deal of unhappiness among the lower ranks, and while I think I know some of the reasons why I do not know that I can do anything about it.
*I shall try sometime later to explain what I think these imply.
I think perhaps the most automatic corrective mechanism is to be an integral part of a university.
I hope that it will be possible for us to see you this summer. I would like very much to spend some time with you.
With love from,
Peter

Dear Linus:
By chance someone drew my attention to a news release for the morning papers as of Friday, May 10 from the University News Office at the Medical School. It concerned the prospective publication by Vallee and Wacker, J.A.M.A. 184: 485-489 (May 11), 1963 and had been seen neither by me nor the authors of that article entitled “Medical Biology: A Perspective”. In the news release, the statement was made “Knowledge of these investigations led Dr. William B. Castle of Harvard to suggest to Dr. Linus Pauling of the California Institute of Technology that sickle cell hemoglobin might have an amino acid composition different from that of normal adult hemoglobin.” Apparently the text of Dr. Vallee’s article was innocently misinterpreted through the understandable technical ignorance of the lay author of the publicity release. Although this detail of the text of the release may never appear in the press, should some newspaper have printed it, I wanted to let you know that neither the authors of the article nor I were aware that such a misrepresentation of the facts had been made.
Last January 16, while Dr. Vallee was preparing a lecture in which he wished to refer to my connection with subsequent investigations of sickle cell hemoglobin, I wrote him a letter stating my recollection of the circumstances of our conversation as follows:
“What I do remember clearly was a conversation with Dr. Pauling on a railroad train while traveling from Denver to Chicago subsequent to this meeting. (? 1946) Knowing of Paulings work on protein structure, I pointed out to him the possible significance of the characteristic deformity of the red cells in sickle cell disease, associated, according to Sherman, with the appearance of birefringence. I suggested that I thought that this would be a matter of interest to him because to me the phenomenon of birefringence suggested the occurrence of molecular orientation in the reduced state of these cells.
“As in his Harvey lecture, Pauling has been very gracious on other occasions in referring to me at all because the essential observations indicating the presence of an abnormal hemoglobin with respect to its physical behavior on deoxygenation were clearly stated by Hahn and Gillespie in 1927. Sherman’s observation was made in 1940, and Ponder in 1948 had demonstrated that osmotically produced “ghosts” deprived of hemoglobin would not assume the sickle shape upon exposure to low

oxygen tension. Indeed, he proposed that the intracellular hemoglobin molecules, when deoxygenated, assumed a “para-crystalline” arrangement. The work of these authors is duly cited by Pauling in his lecture.”
I know that you are much more interested in the future of biology than in the past but I would be distressed if the garbled account in the news release should actually appear and come to your attention without this explanation.
With kind personal regards,
Sincerely yours,
W.B. Castle, M.D.
- Memo from LP [Signed by Helen Gilrane] to Robert Causey . [Filed under LP Correspondence: (John Francis Catchpool), #62.5 and (Robert Causey) #63.2]
Mr. Robert Causey Linus Pauling 22 May 1963
Research on Electrical Conductivity of Solutions
During the last two years Dr. Catchpool, with the help last surlier of a student, has been measuring the electrical conductivity of certain aqueous solutions in the absence and presence of an anesthetic agent (chloroform). We hope that these measurements can he interpreted to provide information about the formation of small hydrated complexes (rdcrocrystals) in the solution.
Dr. Catchpool has obtained experimental values for solutions of potassium chloride, butyl ammonium chloride, tetramethyl ammonium chloride, and tetramethyl ammonium bromide. Some of the measurements are for solutions containing as much as four moles per liter.
He has found that the conductivity of the alkyl ammonium salts does not increase with increasing concentration so rapidly as that of potassium chloride, and it is affected by the presence of chloroform by a larger percentage amount than is that of potassium chloride solution.
I should like you to carry out the theoretical discussion of the complexes present in the solutions, in an effort to obtain some significant information from the conductivity measurements.
There is some difficulty in interpreting conductivity measurements of concentrated solutions. I suggest that we make an effort to interpret these measurements by using the potassium chloride solution as standard. We may assume that the potassium chloride solutions, even the concentrated ones, contain potassium ions and chloride ions, with no formation of complexes. By measuring dilute solutions of potassium chloride and of the other salts, the ratio of the limiting conductances of the salt A B and potassium chloride can be found. I suggest that for each concentration of salt and each concentration of anesthetic agent, the measured conductivity of the potassium chloride solution at that concentration and with that amount of anesthetic agent be corrected by multiplying by the ratio of the limiting conductants of the salt and potassium chloride, to obtain the conductants that would be expected for the salt if no complexes were present. The ratio of the experimentally measured conductivity of the A B solution and the value calculated in this way would provide information about the ex-tent to which complexes had formed in the solution of A B.
This treatment is far from rigorous, but I do not know how to make it more rigorous.
I should guess that several alternative theoretical treatments be carried out, as outlined below.
First, let us assume that the solution of A B contains some ions A+ and B-, and some neutral complexes, but no charge complexes. The neutral complexes would be A B plus some water molecules and perhaps molecules of anesthetic agent, A2 B2 plus these other molecules, A3 B3 and so on.
I suggest that in all of the equilibrium expressions you assume that the activity coefficients are all unity. This may be a considerable approximation but I doubt that it is worthwhile to try to correct for ionic strength, although you might think it worthwhile to sake this correction, using the Debye theory.
I suggest that you write down the equilibrium expression for the formation of the complex AM+1 Bm-1 from An Bn and the two ions. These equilibrium constants, K1, K2, ...., can perhaps be evaluated by comparison of the calculated conductivity as a function of concentration with the experimental results.
You sight find it worthwhile to try, as a start, a simplified theory in which the successive equilibrium constants are all given the same value. You can find an argument providing some justification for this assumption in the paper by Lassettre, Chem. Revs. 20, 259 (1937); he wrote this paper while he was a graduate student here.
The experimental results might justify the separate determination of K1 and K2, with the following equilibrium constants placed equal to K2; or perhaps the first three constants could be evaluated separately.
If you find that this theory gives a satisfactory fit to the experimental curves at one temperature, in the absence of anesthetic agent, you could then evaluate the same equilibrium constants at the other two temperatures, and see if the values of the change in enthalpy and entropy corresponding to the temperature coefficients seem to be reasonable.
In the same way, the values of the equilibrium constants in the presence of anesthetic agents could then be determined, and an effort made to discuss the effectiveness of molecules of anesthetic agent in stabilizing the successive complexes.
Dr. Catchpool has had in mind studying the effects of two different anesthetic agents. I think that, if good results are obtained for chloroform, it would be worthwhile to try fluothane, and then mixtures of chloroform and fluothane.
One would, of course, anticipate that some complexes containing cations and anions in unequal numbers would be present in the solutions. There is some question in my mind as to whether or not it would be worthwhile to try to formulate equilibrium expressions for these complexes also and to try to estimate the contribution that these complexes would make to the conductivity of the solution, and introduce this contribution as a correction.
I shall look forward to discussing with you the equilibrium expressions that you formulate for these systems.

My work is suddenly going well. Some time ago I got some unexpected results that puzzled me for a while, but suddenly I had an idea that mad everything fit. It is a good feeling. It is about time things went well. I want to go for a post-doc with a guy name Hanawalt, in biophysics at Stanford. Here’s hoping.
Are you coming over this summer?

Dear Bill:
I have not as yet seen any statement in the press along the lines mentioned in your letter of 22 May to me.
I have a vivid memory of the evening when I first had the idea about abnormal hemoglobin molecules in relation to sickle-cell anemia. My memory is that you began discussing the disease after dinner, when the members of the Medical Advisory Committee were holding meetings in New York. I am sure that I have the date of the meeting in my diary, but I do not have the diary here. After you had discussed your interest in this disease, I then told you and the other members of the committee, who were, I think, all present, about the suggestion that your statements had made to me, to the effect that the disease might be really a disease of the hemoglobin molecule. The discussion was essentially as described by me in my Harvey Lecture, delivered April 29, 1954. One fact that I did not mention in my Harvey Lecture is that I asked you if you saw any reason why I should not check up on this idea, when I got back to Pasadena, by comparing the properties of hemoglobin from normal individuals and from sickle-cell anemia patients, and you said that you didn’t see any reason why I shouldn’t go ahead.
I do not remember the conversation on the train between Denver and Chicago. Perhaps it is better for me to say that I do not remember our discussing the matter on that train, but I do remember discussing the matter of Sherman’s work with you, after the original discussion, in the New York Hotel.
One reason why I think that original discussion was in New York, and not in Denver, is that my wife was not present at the dinner where we held the original discussion and at which, also, Alton Ochsner discussed some of his experiences as a surgeon, including an operation in

which he cut an artery and had some trouble in sewing up – perhaps it was the aorta. My wife was with me in Denver, but was not with me at the time of the New York meeting of the Medical Research Committee.

Dear Peter:
I was pleased to get another letter from you, which Mama and I found after we got back from New York. We were there all last week, participating in a court case, before a jury, which decided against me. We are appealing, because my lawyer talked with some of the jurors and got the impression that we had made such a good case that they decided that I had not been damaged at all. However, we settled another suit out of court.
You are no doubt right in saying that I would have trouble spending the million dollars over the next twenty years, but I point out that I plan to live more than twenty years, and I might speed up my rate of expenditure.
However, the fact is that I don't want to be bothered to write a high school text, and I doubt that I shall do so. First, it is very hard to find a satisfactory collaborator. I have tried two or three, without success. My experience is that it is about as easy to do something myself as to get somebody else to do it, and if I do it myself I am satisfied with it, whereas if I get somebody else to do it I am not.
The arrangement about your coming stay with us during the summer is something that you and Mama will have to work out.
I am sorry to learn that you are feeling pessimistic about the U. C. department, and also about the Kendrew Empire. I may point out to you that it is not an easy matter to run a department and keep people satisfied and happy.
You will be interested in an activity that Mama and I indulged in last Saturday. One of our lawyers lives in Yakima, Washington. He had flown his own plane to New York. It is a Beechcraft. He asked if we would like to fly back with him. I would not have accepted but Mama accepted, and I decided that the proper thing was for me to go along, and keep an eye on her. So the three of us flew from New York to Yakima. The plane can go about 1200 miles before it needs to be refueled. We left New York at 6:00 A.M., stopped for breakfast at Chicago, stopped again at Rapid City, South Dakota, and then flew on to Yakima, arriving 14.5 hours after leaving New York. While flying over the rockies we were plagued with thunder storms, but managed to dodge around them without getting into any serious trouble. We had to go up to 9000 ft. to get over the rockies in a place that was free of storms. Most of the flight was at about 5000 ft. Then on Sunday we came home by commercial airlines.
How I may say something more about the high school text. I offered to advance $10,000 to you if you would work for a year writing such a text, in collaboration with me (or, I would prefer, with me as consultant). One reason that I do not want to start out on such a job is that the book would have to be revised about every five years, and I am not willing to go to the trouble of revising it, although I might give advice and some help on the revisions so long as I remained moderately free from senility. I must say that I rather doubt that you could do the job in one year - probably two years would be better, and I would be willing to invest $10,000 during each of two years, with the idea that I would be repaid on my investment by my share of the royalties, if you do the major job of writing, I would expect that you would get the major share of the royalties.
This would, I think, be well worthwhile for you, if you could spare one year or two years from your other work. Whether you can or not depends upon how your career is going, in London.
Much love from,
Linus Pauling:hpg
P. S. I think that the time is right now to get out the high school book. Three or four years from now there are sure to be several competitors, and it would be worthwhile to get into the field early.

- Memorandum from LP to LP, RE: About two weeks previous, Professor Roberts suggested that LP compress his research from the four rooms he was currently using into only two. LP told Roberts he did not want to accept this suggestion. Roberts sent him a letter requesting that he do so, and while in NY, LP received a call from Dr. Shaw saying that Roberts had told Shaw that the project would have to give up two rooms. LP made an alternative proposal, in which they give up one room and the bulk of LP's office space; the Building Committee rejected it, with Roberts' explanation that as much space as possible needs to be taken away from the project in question, who occupy more space per man than any other project on campus. LP has plans to meet with Roberts again. [Filed under LP Safe Contents, Drawer 2, Folder 2.006]

Dear Asimov:
I was pleased to learn from the July issue of Fantasy and Science Fiction that you have included me among the seventy-two scientists whom you call great.
I looked through the list to see how many of the seventy-two are still alive, and I found four. This is why I am writing to you. You have indicated one of the four as having died in 1960. The man about whom you have made a mistake is Louis de Broglie. He is still alive. It was his brother Maurice who died in 1960.
Also, I might suggest that you make a small change in the wording of your description of me, in case that you publish it again. You say about me "First to propose the halocial structure of large organic molecules, such as proteins, which led on to Crick's work."
In fact, several people have proposed the halocial structure of large organic molecules, such as proteins, before I discovered the alpha helix, in the late 1940’s. What I did, in this field (with Robert B. Corey and Herman L. Branson) was to discover the correct halocial structure, the alpha helix, and to show that it was the correct structure. Corey and I also discovered the pleated-sheet structures of silk fibroin and stretched keratin. Moreover, Rundle had shown some years earlier that starch has a halocial structure.
I think that if you were to write "discovered the halocial structure of some protein molecules, which led on to Crick's work", I would be satisfied. You probably know, also, that Corey and I have published a paper on a halocial structure (incorrect) for DNA, and that Watson and Crick may have been helped somewhat in their work by having a copy of the manuscript.
If I were writing a brief statement about myself, I probably would include also a sentence such as the following: "He discovered the abnormal human hemoglobin molecules, and developed the concept of molecular disease".
Do you have a copy of my Harvey Lecture? I have a few reprints left, and I am sending one under separate cover.
Cordially yours,
Linus Pauling:hpg
