Dear Daddy,
We wish to congratulate you on this remarkable achievement.
It was fun to talk with you on the telephone. We had first tried to get you during the little party we had on the 10th. You were at the ranch.
I am not sure that you want all your offspring at the gathering and am not sure in your argument about the matter with Mamma who was on which side. If you have decided what you want to happen (or really rather what you have agreed to happen) I would like to know. We have to make a lot of arrangements for the children and the house building etc. and I want to get Julia some clothes because she does not have any for the purpose. This would take a little time.
Our house is coming along fairly well. Forde is behind schedule somewhat but he has knocked off the bay window and done almost all the basement. Though not completely convenient (it will not have enough small rooms until we use the whole house ourselves) it is going to be a very nice house. I think my treatment of the oriel window and glazing will be very good.
What do you think of my new typewriter ribbon? It is a carbon ribbon attachment for my Olympia SG 1 typewriter with Congress Pice typeface and a carbon ribbon. It is not electric. The thicker Congress type comes out very nicely with the crisp clean impression of the carbon ribbon. I bought the typewriter but the boys arranged the ribbon attachment for me (It costs £10, too much).
While swimming on Saturday with Thomas I got terrible cramps in both my calves while trying to do the back stroke for the first time in many years. The pain left after a couple of days but now my right heel hurts rather a lot and I have difficulty in walking. I think they are probably related and I have pulled the tendon in the heel during the cramp.
I have been very depressed. The NIH finally wrote about my application of a years standing and said no, due to the dollar problem. My proposal had a high scientific evaluation. NATO sent the money for my Parisian colleague A. M. Michelson I asked for but not the money for me (until Michelson makes the things.) My postdoctoral fellow will leave in the next month or two; my programmer Mrs. Dollimore has quit to have a baby; I do not know where I will get the money for a diffractometer.
Mrs. Londdale sends her congratulations and best wishes. She says she will not write separately; you have enough mail to read.
Love from, Peter

Dear Otto:
Ava Helen and I are having a hard time getting everything done. Tomorrow we are going to our ranch for ten days, in order that I may work in quiet on the preparation of my Nobel address, to be held at 7:00 P.M. on 11 December.
I look forward to visiting your laboratory again, and, if you wish, to giving an address - that is, I mean a scientific talk.
I have some nice slides (2" x 2") about molecular structure in general, and some rather new results about amino-acid sequences in polypeptide chains of hemoglobins of animals of different species, in relation to the theory of evolution. I think that a satisfactory title for my talk might be Molecular Structure, Molecular Disease, and Evolution.
If you feel that I should give this talk also in Trondheim, please include it in the arrangements that you are making for Ava Helen and me. Perhaps I could give it in Stockholm, too, although perhaps the days just before Christmas are not good ones for a scientific talk.
Bertil Svahnstrüm telephoned me to say that it was probable that my Peace Lecture in Stockholm would be held on 19 December, in the Stockholm Cathedral. He said that perhaps the archbishop would participate. I told him, in answer to his question, that I had no objection to having a prayer as part of the meeting.
Ava Helen and I are now thinking of staying in Norway and Sweden until about 2 January, and then returning to Pasadena by way of New York, Washington, and Philadelphia. I do not know that meetings during the period between Christmas and New Year's Day would be properly attended, but if you think that this is a satisfactory time for a meeting to be held, you might take it into account in arranging our schedule. Perhaps we would go to Sweden in the period around 19 December, and then return to Oslo for a week before coming home.

Dear Mom and Pop
Linie will be coming certainly, and thank you for inviting him.
It will probably turn out to be too much trouble, but if some of the others should go to Oslo on their own is the public allowed in to watch the ceremony? I'm trying to consider all possibilities.
What do I need in the way of clothes? I can't remember what I wore in Stockholm. If morning coat is what you are wearing, I suppose relatives will be supposed to be less formal. Anyway, please let me know. I'll probably have to get myself a dark suit in Pasadena before going.
It would be fun to go along with you on SAS, but final decision will have to wait; I may go along to Geneva slightly earlier, and then come along to Oslo on the 9th. I'd like to participate in whatever activities are available to me, so I'll suit my schedule to that.
I am sorry to miss parties going on in California in your honor. Possibly there will be some at the last minute I will be there for - I hope so.
Much love to you - you must be awfully busy right now!
Linus

4 November 1963
Mr. Roger Hayward
920 Linda Vista
Pasadena, California
Dear Roger:
I enclose my check for four hundred thousand dollars to supplement the check for six hundred from the California Institute of Technology.
My lecture in Washington was only partially successful. The projector was one with a big carbon arc, and no filter between it and the slides, (or so I was told by someone who went to the projection room). The result was that the slides began to burn a few seconds after appearing on the screen. I do not know what sort of an impression the auditors got – they might have been paying more attention to the burning of the slides then to what I was saying.
I am grateful to you for your help in preparing for this lecture.
I am going to try and find some way of using the drawings, such that you and I may get a payment that we can split between us. The National Academy of Sciences provided a sum of money that did not equal the traveling expenses to Washington and hotel bill.
Sincerely,
Linus Pauling:kpc

Dear Curtis:
I was pleased to receive your telegram and your letter about the possibility of my writing an autobiography.
I shall, probably, write an autobiography at some time in the future but I have so many other things that I want to do that it seems unlikely that I could get it done during the next couple of years. A biography is under way, by two people who have been working on it for several months.
I shall be away from Pasadena during much of November, and unavailable (writing my Nobel address). I shall, however, be in Pasadena for several days, before and after the fifteenth. I am not sure that it is worthwhile for Mr. Gutwillig to take time to see me, since I could not work on the biography for a long time in the future.
With best regards, I am
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling:kpc

Mrs. Ethel Taylor
1505 Ashford Way
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Dear Ethel,
Thank you for your good letter. Perhaps we shall be able to come to Philadelphia after the first of the year on our return home from Norway. I shall let you know just as soon as our plans are definite. But I’m not absolutely certain now.
We think that we shall spend one day in Washington - perhaps another in New York, and then it is possible that we could stop in Philadelphia also for homecoming celebrations, if you will permit me to use that term.
You cannot imagine now busy we are and even though it is a wonderful kind of business, yet it is tiring.
We leave today for a week at the ranch where we are absolutely alone and in seclusion, and there we plan to write the speeches which we must give in Norway.
Also, I am going to give the "sermon” at the Unitarian Church on the first of December when I shall take the place of Reverend Fritchman who is going to be in Europe. I am going to talk on the "Second X Chromosome, a Study of Woman". I mean to say a good number of things and some of which will be in refutation of this book, The Feminine Mystique, which I think has some very foolish ideas in it. I mean to make this as good a talk as I can.
We send you affectionate greetings,
Ava Helen Pauling

7 November 1963
Dear Mamma,
I hope you can unload that Mercedes Benz because I really am going to need the money for my bloody house. It is coming along fairly well, the Builder is somewhat more than a week behind schedule but seems to be coping reasonably well. I am sorry to add to your work at a time when you have so much to do. It seems to me you always have so much to do and are keeping busy rather generally these days.
I had a nice letter from Crellin.
Things are not going very well here, I am rather depressed but I suppose they will get better. My support money did not come through and my two assistants have quit and are leaving. It does not help.
I hope we get to see you this winter. I wish our house were ready so I could invite you there. It probably will not be ready until the beginning of February.
The boys got me a carbon ribbon attachment for my typewriter and I am very pleased with it.
With much love from,

8 November
Dear Peter,
I imagine that you are right, and since we haven't heard anything from Pop I have come to the conclusion that we will not be going. In a way it is just as well, since I have a lot to do if I'm going to get done here within the next few months. Things continue to go well, I am pretty amazed. I have gotten more good data and I think important results in the past month or six weeks that in the previous year. I fell that I can say with conviction that I will finish up soon - it is a good feeling, I must say. I have begun writing about post-docs, hopefully at Stanford. I have also been assured of a temporary post-doc here to fill in any time between getting my degree and the beginning of something new.
I purchased a new axle for the coaster brake, at the outrageous cost of 31¢ (approx. 2/6), and took the thing apart, washed it with gasoline (petrol), and put it back together with a little light motor oil. I have to get a new nut, as one of the nuts that holds the entire assembly together has stripped threads. I shall do so and send it off to you. I imagine that perhaps it ought to be taken apart again, and reassembled with gear oil or grease. I haven't found any little book, but it is a pretty simple device, and I think that you ought to be able to take it apart and put it together again. It is somewhat simpler than, say, the gearbox of a 1932 Ford.
I would like to have a 901 Porsche.
It would be very nice to be able to stay here for a few months with post-doc income, especially during the summer. It would also be nice to have another sailing season, but if it proves anything like, this summer I won't spend much time in the boat.
I am going to have to do something about hi-fi one of these days. My main amplifier, an old Heathkit, is out of commission with a burnt-out power transformer, and now my FM turner seems to be acting up. I should like to set a decent stereo amplifier, and a Tandberg tape recorder, to do anything now, so I must make do.
Do you ever go to motor car races? I should like to see a real GP race. I have been going to races here a bit, since there is a nice track fairly close, that is, about a 45 min drive from here. Graham Hill was here, driving a Lotus 23, driving a fast, smooth, uninteresting race, until the thing crapped out.
Much love from Crellin

12 November 1963
Dear Linus,
You once mentioned to me that you and yours were the importers of a Japanese type transistor set of the larger type including FM. I would certainly appreciate having one of these and if you are coming to Europe ask you to bring me one. I have recently found myself in situations away from the basic home sound unit a good deal: doing work and so forth when I would like very much to be able to listen to music. A set such as that one you had would be just the ticket.
Also, if they are still around could you please pick off for me the basic dimensions of those three wheeled pedal helicopters that you had in 1958? I want to make one for Thomas and it would be some help to know the dimensions, wheel base, distance from seat to pedals, pedals to front axle and so forth. Do not spend much time on it.
I hope you are well and carrying on. I have been very depressed for several weeks and now have my psychosomatic sinusitis in good strength, but seem to be carrying on more or less. Our house is going well, still more torn apart than put together but I think the structural work will be finished next week and we can get on with the roof and the front exterior. I think my major alterations will look very good.
Thank you for your help.
With love from,

Dr. James G. Horsfall
Director
The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station
123 Huntington Street
New Haven Connecticut
Dear Dr. Horsfall:
I am astonished by your statements in your letter of 29 October to me.
First, I believe that it was quite proper for me, after describing the great progress that has been made recently in the developing powerful methods of studying the nature of living organisms, to state that in my opinion great sums of money should be devoted to this activity, rather than to the relatively non-productive activity of the race for the moon. The statement by me of my opinion on this matter was not personal political propaganda.
Second, I find it surprising that you, a biologist should be opposed to using the powerful methods that have now been developed in a vigorous attack on biological and medical problems. I surmise that your attitude may be the result of ignorance – you may not have had much opportunity to keep up with the astounding developments in this field. I suggest that it would be proper for you, in order that you may do justice to your position as the Director of an Agricultural Experiment Station, to make an effort to become familiar with the recent developments in molecular biology and medicine, which may well, in the course of time, have a large influence on the work of your station.
Yours truly,
Linus Pauling:hpg

Prof. Arthur H. Westing

Petersham, Massachusetts
Dear Prof. Westing:
I am pleased to answer the three questions in your letter of 1 November.
1. Approximately 0.100 r per year was the magnitude of the background radiation, on the average, prior to 1943.
2. The increase since then has been, because of fallout and Carbon 14 between 0.002 and 0.013 r per year, for different parts of the body. According to the U. S. Federal Radiation Council's Report of May 1962, the most authoritative source of information I know, the integrated amount of irradiation of the whole body for the first seventy years after the bomb tests carried out up to the end of 1961 amounts to 0.070 to 0.150 r.
3. A number of authorities have attempted to estimate the life-shortening effect of radiation. I have usually used the value seven days per roentgen for decrease in life expectancy of man. I have recently seen a reference to a statement by Prof. Bentley Glass that thirteen days per roentgen is reasonable. The integrated irradiation mentioned above would then correspond to an average decrease in life expectancy of from one to four days because of the radioactive substances produced in the bomb.
I enclose a paper of mine in which the figure three days is given.
I suggest also that you read my paper "Genetic Effects of Weapons Tests", in the December 1962 Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. I do not discuss the life-shortening effect there. Note that I estimate that the amount of contamination was increased by 50% by the tests during 1962.
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling:kpc

Dear Crellie:
On examining my records I find that on 17 December 1962 I made a loan to you of $5,000, to be repaid on 17 October 1963. I also made a gift of $6,000 to you on 18 November 1962. These sums were to constitute partial support for you and your family during 1962 and 1963.
I hereby make a gift to you of $5,000 by cancelling the debt that was to be repaid on 17 October 1963.
Mama joins me in sending love to you.

Dear Crellie:
Mama has reminded me that I have not asked you and Lucy to come to the Nobel ceremony. I am accordingly extending a formal invitation to you and Lucy to be present. I enclose my check for fifteen hundred dollars as a gift to you. You may use it for any purpose that you desire. If you feel that it is worthwhile to come to Oslo, please do so, and if Lucy can arrange to come, I hope that she will, although you may have trouble about the children, and I realize that it may not be possible. Also, I realize that you may feel it important to avoid the interruption to your work.
A dark suit is needed for the ceremony at one p.m. on 10 December, and the dinner that evening is white tie.
Mama tells me that your work is going along well and that you have material for three papers. Don't delay preparing them for publication - you are in a field in which many people are working.
Much love from

31 January 1963
Dear Linus
I have been intending to write to you, to tell you that Mama has been rather sick. We were in England from 4 to 11 January, and she began to get a cold about 6 January. She had a slight fever for a couple of days, but seemed well enough to make the flight home on 11 January. However, the next day she had a fever, which continued to increase, day after day, until for a couple of days it was 102.3°. She was also suffering from deafness and from conjunctivitis. I called the doctor, despite her objection — by this time she was sick enough not to be able to object very well — and he came (Dr. Maronde, the partner of Bob Boyd, who was not available that day). He gave her a prescription for Panalba, a mixture of tetracyclene and another antibiotic, which she took for three days, one capsule every six hours. Within a day her temperature had dropped about three degrees, and her conjunctivitis rapidly disappeared. She has continued to improve, although she is still rather weak. This morning, for the first time, she came up to the kitchen to eat her breakfast. Twice she has come to the kitchen for her dinner. Otherwise she has eaten her meals in bed. I have been the cook and dishwasher. I have stayed with her most of the time. Fortunately I do not have much in the way of duties at the lab, although I had three lectures to give shortly after our return. I have been working at home, doing the last jobs in connection with the third edition of College Chemistry.
Next Tuesday and Wednesday I am giving some lectures in Modesto. I have decided to fly to Modesto Tuesday morning and to fly back Wednesday afternoon. Probably Mama and I shall stay in Pasadena until the end of the week, and I hope that we can go to the ranch about 10 or 11 February and stay for ten days or two weeks. It would be fine if you could come and see us at some time, perhaps coming up to the ranch, too.
I had a cold before we went to England, and I have spent several days in bed during the past month, but I have not been in bad shape.
Right at the moment Linda is in bed, and her three boys are not very well. Barclay, too, is rather under the weather, and is staying at home a good bit of the time. This seems to be a bad year for colds.
Much love from

15 November 1963
Dr. Peter Pauling
62 Elgin Crescent
London, W. 11, England
Dear Peter:
I was happy to see your letter of 1 November, which did not arrive until after we had left for the ranch, and accordingly waited until we had got back, yesterday (the 13th).
I worked on my Nobel speeches while there, and Mama worked on several lectures and articles that she has to get done.
We are looking forward to seeing your house, possibly next summer. We are not going to come to England on this trip.
Also, your letter looks very good. I don't understand just what sort of a typewriter you have, but it seems to me to be unusually good.
You must be careful about swimming, now that you have had this experience with cramps. I doubt that the cramps mean anything especial - probably just that you overworked the muscle, perhaps after a period when the muscle had not been used very much.
I hope that your research goes along well, and that you get enough support for it. I have a feeling that the amount of work that you can accomplish may not depend very much on the number of assistants that you have or the amount of money for research, provided that your basic needs are satisfied - at any rate, that has been my experience. I trust that you are going to apply again for the money that you want.
I enclose a check for $1,000, which you may use as you wish. Linus is coming to Oslo, but I doubt that Linda or Crellie will come - both are, I think, tied down with their work, and perhaps they feel that one experience of this sort is enough. It would be fine if you decided to use this money to travel to Oslo for the ceremony on the 10th of December and the Nobel Lecture on the evening of the 11th - probably some other things too; I think the Red Cross Nobel Lecture may be on the 12th, and on the 13th there is a peace meeting in Oslo at which Mama and I both are to talk. If you want to come, or both you and Julia, please do so; if you decide to put the money to other uses, please do so.
I thought at first that if you came to the ceremony at 1:00 P.M. on 10 December you would have to have a morning coat, as I shall, but now I have learned that a business suit would be satisfactory. The dinner that evening is white tie.
Please let me know about your decision, so that I can write to the Norwegian Nobel Committee about reserving a room for you.
I have two secretaries now, to help me answer the mail, and Mama has one. Between us we have answered about 400 letters of congratulations - perhaps one-third of the total. A lot of people seem to be pretty pleased with the Nobel Prize to me, and a lot, such as Henry Luce, seem to be pretty irritated.
The New York Hearld-Tribune had an editorial with the title "The Nobel Peacenik Prize". Someone wrote to the editor, and sent me a copy: He addressed his letter to the warnik editor of the Herald Tribune.
Yesterday Mama and I spent our second day at Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions. The discussion was very interesting - about ideologies of scientists - the discussion on the first day also had been interesting. We shall probably build a house at the ranch and rent an apartment in Santa Barbara.
Much love from

15 November 1963
Mr. Bruce Freeman
Knapp Street
Route No. 2
Monroe, Connecticut
Dear Mr. Freeman:
In answer to your letter, I may tell you that I was born in Portland Oregon on 28 February 1901. My father was a druggist, who died when I was nine years old. I attended grammar school in Condon, Oregon, and Portland, and Washington High School in Portland. I became interested in Chemistry when I was thirteen years old. I began studying at Oregon State College in 1917, taught quantitative analysis there as a full-time instructor for one year (1919-1920), and received the degree of Bachelor of Science and Chemical Engineering in 1922.
I have two sisters, who are younger than I.
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling:kpc

Saturday
Dear Peter,
I guess this on-again off-again trip is on again, this time for good. Mama telephoned the other night, and said that we were invited, but that they had been too busy to write. Lucy has also been successful in arranging for some friends of ours to stay here with the kids for a couple of weeks, so I guess we're all set. We will fly via SAS to Copenhagen, and thence to Oslo, on (I think ) the same plane as the parents. We will return via London, leaving London on 21 Dec. I don't know what the plans are, or when we will leave Oslo. I haven't made reservations for the Oslo-London portion of the trip. We might stop in Copenhagen for a couple of days; I do not know.
I will bring the bicycle coaster brake along, rather than mailing it. Also your shirt and towel, unless (as is pretty likely) I forget them.
By the way, the SAS flight 936, which arrives in Copenhagen at 8:10 AM on 8 Dec. The connecting flight to Oslo is SAS 452.
Otherwise, all is much the same. My work continues, much to my amazement, to go well, and I should at least get a rough draft of a ms done by the time we leave. It is a good feeling. Dale Kaiser, with whom I would like to do a post-doc at Stanford, is taking next year off, but says that I might spend the following year with him. Very nice, but doesn't solve the problem of next year. There is another fellow at Stanford, though, named Phil Hanawalt, with whom I might spend next year. I must write him this afternoon.
Do you ever see David Wilkie? You might let him know I will be there, and would like to see him, unless he has gone off for the holidays. I don't know what it is like there the week before Christmas, but perhaps I might give an informal seminar, if such exist in old blighty. I will probably come armed with a few lantern slides, just in case.
If you want anything I will gladly bring it, as long as it is not a) too expensive or b) too heavy.
Much love -
Crellin
Mama said that she will advance you the money for the Merc. I will be in Pasadena for only about 12 hours, but I can probably try to get Al Jacobsen on the stick.

18 November 1963
Dear Mama and Daddy:
Our letters apparently crossed in the mail. I return the check, as it is made out for different amounts.
We would be very honored to go, and I think have made satisfactory arrangements for the children. We approached Lucy’s parents, but
even though they would like to come I think it is better that they not do so, for many reasons.
I think that I can probably rent the necessary apparel for white tie in Oslo.
My income is $4200 tax exempt from PHS. Plus a little from interest, stock dividends etc. - The latter no more than $200, I'm sure. I
think you can claim all 5 of us as dependents.
Much love from Crellin

Collector of Internal Revenue

Los Angeles 53, California
Gentlemen:
On receipt of your letter of 12 November I963, addressed Reply Attention of Code 1212:688-4040. AC:11/12/63, Account No.42,6064880/63L; 1962, I have examined my records and filled out Form 2210, which is enclosed.
I judge that I did not prepay income tax for Linus C. and Ava Helen Pauling for the year 1962. I have not found any reason for not having prepaid this income tax, and I think that I forgot to do it, because of being busy, with other things. I have calculated, as shown on Form 2210, that the additional charge amounts to $41.70. I enclose my check for this sum.
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling:hpg

19 November 1963
Mr. Fred Okrand
257 South Spring Street
Los Angeles, California
Dear Fred:
I enclose a letter of 8 November 1963 to Dr. Robert M. Hutchins from Mrs. A. N. Tilston, 37 Belmont Avenue, Long Beach, California, and a document entitled Nevadans On Guard, Vol. 2, No. 18, Reno, Nevada, October 26, 1963.
On the first page there is an article with the heading "American Communist Given Nobel Peace Prize", with my picture, and the statement that the Nobel Peace Prize for 1962 was awarded to me (the word jointly is improperly used here in the caption), and with the statement "Doesn't this committee know that Louis Budenz has identified Linus Pauling as a communist? (California Legislature Senate Investigating Committee on Education, 1957.)"
The document is described on the same page as a privately circulated newsletter prepared and circulated by the Deter and the Schaefer families.
This copy of the document apparently was sent to Mrs. Tilston or to her husband, as shown by the partially obliterated address on the back.
Could you refer me to a lawyer in Reno who could file a libel suit for me against Nevadans On Guard, the Deter family, the Schaefer family, and possibly other individuals?
The man that you mentioned (Bartlett, President of the State Bar) seems to me to be the sort of man that should be found.
If there is any information that you need other than that in this letter and that in our telephone conversation yesterday, let me know. I shall, however, be at the ranch and unavailable between 11:00 A.M. Wednesday 20 November and the afternoon of 29 November.
Sincerely,
Linus Pauling:hpg

Dear Peter:
Please let me know if you or you and Julia are going to go to Oslo, so that I can ask the Nobel Committee to make a hotel reservation - tell me how long you would be there.
I doubt that you would have to have tails for the dinner. Didn't you wear a dinner jacket in Stockholm? I think that Oslo is less formal than Stockholm. Mama and I are overwhelmed with work right now.
Much love from Daddy

Dear Petie,
Would you like me to advance you the money on the Mercedes? I have been really dreadfully busy with my speechmaking and article writing and all this extra work has kept me terribly busy. I agreed a long time ago to let Dr. Findlay Russell know when I had received an offer for this car. But I have not had time to transmit to him the offer of $3,000 which I had some time ago.
I would be willing to advance you $3,000 and then when I sell the car, I will keep it and if I should get more then §3,000 I shall send you the difference. Would you be agreeable to this? We are dreadfully busy but are having a good time too. The trouble with us is that we work so hard every day that when something extra comes along, we then have to work all night as well in order to get things done.
We are not sure yet whether Linda will come to Oslo but it looks as if Crellie and Lucy would come. The hall in Oslo is much smaller than that in Stockholm, so the scramble for tickets is even greater.
We look forward to seeing you.
Much love,

Dear Mr. Herzog:
On returning to Pasadena I tried to find accounts of the two naval disasters that my wife and I had mentioned to you at the ranch, and, was successful, by getting the help of my colleague Dr. Gustav Albrecht.
On 22 June 1893 Admiral Sir George Tryon issued the order that I had mentioned to you, while he was in command of a fleet off the coast of Tripoli. Two ships sank, and the Admiral was drowned, along with 358 people.
Dr. Albrecht has told me that he was informed that the episode is mentioned in the Encyclopedia Britannica under Tryon. We have not checked this, because I am leaving, and I hasten to get this letter off to you.
The seven United States destroyers went on the rocks off Honda Point, California, in a fog, on 3 September 1923.
I shall be at the ranch from new until Thanksgiving Day. If necessary, word left with the forest ranger will reach me and I can telephone to you within about one day.
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling:hpg

22 November 1963
Mr. Frank K. Kelly
Vice President
Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions
Box 4068
Santa Barbara, California
Dear Mr. Kelly:
I thank you for the clipping from the News-Press. I would like to have a print of it, if you could get the News-Press to provide it.
As to the reception in Santa Barbara, I note that my wife and I could be in Santa Barbara on Friday 24 January, Saturday 25 January, or Sunday 26 January. Also, the days 1 and 2 February (Saturday and Sunday) would be all right. Almost any day in February after the 8th would be satisfactory at the present time - there is the chance that I shall make some engagements that would rule some of them out.
Please let me know when the day for the reception is determined.
I talked briefly with Dr. Hutchins about the matter of my retirement annuity. From him I got the impression that the Center has an arrangement with the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association, but that the Center does not itself contribute a fraction of the salary of the members of the staff, matched by their own contributions. In my case, I think that I may well decide not to have any further contributions made to my annuity, which is large enough already.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Petie,
We are trying to recover some sense of reality after the frightful shock of Kennedy’s
assassination and then yesterday that depraved murder of the wretched suspect
Oswald. It is high time that the United States take a good honest look at
itself.
I enclose a check for $3000 for the Mercedes because I have not had time to try and
sell it. If I should get $3200 say, I’ll send on the rest. This letter will reach
you probably before the one which I dictated in Pasadena.
I hired a part time secretary in September. Three mornings a week. She is a 25 year
old with 2 small children – 2 ½ & 3 ½ and a husband in medical school!! She is
not too good but I would be completely submerged by all this extra mail if I didn't
have her.
Have I told you about our Japanese girls?
Terry De’Ak, the secretary, is a high strung bright girl that left PCC after one year
to get married! Her father and mother are divorced and she is some what too
aggressive for so young a girl. But yet I hope they do make a go of their life. They
are very poor and she has some slight tendency not to want to take the
responsibility for her actions. Life has been hard for her, certainly.
It is a lovely day here and we have six or seven beautiful, new, little calves. Also
an architect came Saturday. Perhaps we shall get started on our new house here.
Love to you and your family
Mama
I am assuming that the Daddy has written about our personal decisions and changes in
our situation.

I'm sorry you didn't get your grant. You must apply again. Also how about the
Guggenheim Fellowship?

Dear Mamma,
Thank you very much for your letter of the 20th November. I am going to need the money about Christmas time and certainly would like very much to borrow it from you on the security of the Merc. I would like to get rid of the car though when it is convenient.
The house is coming along well. It still looks a mess but all the structural work is done, that is all the steel beams are in. There are still some partition walls to put in. Our oriel window is going to be very nice. I will need the money though to finish the job.
We look forward to seeing you. I had decided there was not really much reason why we should not go fend that we were near by and should go. We certainly shall be pleased to be with you.
I have been struggling but am beginning to show more spirit and life. There certainly is a great deal to be done.
We are stricken with the death of President Kennedy. I had begun to think perhaps ordinary mortals might be able to rest a little easier and let the professionals work things out with some help but now I fear it is back to the struggle.
I wish Linda would come. It would be great fun to see her and a loss without her.
Thank you for the recipes. Julia made some puddings from it. Please bring you Christmas Cake recipe. What are you doing after the Oslo affair?
much love from,

Dear Professor Grassmann:
I am pleased that you should write to me again, and ask for my opinion about Dr. G. Braunitzer.
I have only met Dr. Braunitzer once, so far as I remember. I was then with him for a couple of days, and I had the opportunity to hear him speak and to discuss same matters with him. I also know about his scientific work, to the extent that it deals with the sequence of amino acid residues in hemoglobins.
The opinion that I have formed of the quality of Braunitzer’s work is a very high one. Moreover, it seems to me that he shows considerable originality, great initiative, and obvious industry in his researches. I think that he has to be classed among the best half-dozen people in the world who are engaged in this field of activity.
Braunitzer made a good personal impression on me. He seems to be a pleasant and friendly man. I have not, however, had the opportunity to observe him at work in his laboratory, and while I might surmise that he would be cooperative in his scientific work, I cannot be sure.
I suggest that you ask my colleague Dr. W. S. Schroeder of the California Institute of Technology for his opinion.
Sincerely yours,

The salaries of several individuals (H. Gilrane, K. Jones, J. Catchpool, T. Sato) were charged to our budget in the final months of the 1962-1963 fiscal year, as a means of avoiding an excessive balance at the end of the year. Mrs. Arietta Townsend informed me that this situation still prevails when I asked her why our Sept. charges were so high.
The tentative budget submitted with the application for grant renewal last May was fairly tight and allows little room for extra expenditures. Charges for salaries and benefits now amount to $6500 in excess of original budget estimates (including extrapolation for November), plus an additional $2000 commitment for salaries (nature unknown to me).
I mentioned this problem to you at the end of October, just after having received the Sept. report from the Business Office, and you indicated that instructions would be sent to Mrs. Townsend to correct the situation. Could this be done soon so that we may avoid future financial difficulties?

My dearest Jan,
Forgive me for being so long about answering your letter. Are you all well now and is Lawrence completely recovered? We surely hope so. I felt wretched to think of your having such a dreadful experience and I hope it is all in the past now.
You cannot know how busy we have been and how impossible it is to catch up on our mail. I have employed a young woman to help me and so I am doing somewhat better than I would otherwise do but I am still very far behind.
We leave on the 7th of December for Oslo and we shan't be home again until the 15th of January. Also, I am busy with some articles and I am talking at the Unitarian Church taking the place of the minister who is to be in Warsaw—on the "Second X Chromosome, a Study of Woman". I wish that you could be there to criticize me and tell me how this goes. We were happy to have the announcement of your Antony's wedding but cannot believe that he is really old enough to be married. Do you think it is a good thing for him to live with you? I do not think so. Please give my love to Mary Clatereand tell her to be a good girl and work hard on her Medicine. We have a young Japanese girl with us from Japan who is a darling and who is getting along extremely well in school. We shall be responsible for her through the University in case she wishes to remain that long. She is very bright, and although only seventeen, is much more knowledgeable than the usual girl in the United States. We wish too that Lord Russell had received the prize. I think that it would have been much more fitting to have given it to him rather than to the Red Cross since I do not believe that it was Nobel's intention to give prizes to these organizations which go around mopping up after a war rather than trying to prevent it. This goes for the Quaker organizations too that have received the prize. We had nominated Lord Russell but I think that perhaps his civil disobedience was against him although of course I have no knowledge of this; this is only intuitive idea. Also, his great age.
The WIL is still up to its old tricks and refused to sponsor Professor Yasui's trip to the U.S. He is here and is having a rebounding success. As you no doubt know, he is a most intelligent and cultured man and I hate to think of these

vulgar little dogs snarling at his heels. But he is a remarkable man and I think the people who come to see him will see this. I cannot tell you how good I feel to think that I didn't waste three or four days of my time plus $400 or so to go back to the Board Meeting where all of this fight went on and where they finally decided after instructions from Arlie Pell that he was a communist, that the poor WIL couldn't smirch its skirts by having anything to do with him. Phooey, Phooey, Phooey!
We send you our love and I shall write to you in more detail later.
