| 16) Personal Safe, 1912-1993 (42 boxes) |
| The four drawers of Linus Pauling's personal safe contained an astonishingly rich and diverse collection of items which have
yielded a much fuller portrait of Pauling's life and activities. Drawer 1 held over seven-hundred letters between Linus and
Ava Helen Pauling, most of them love letters. Drawers 2 and 3 contained a number of items that Pauling had deemed to be either
sensitive or important, including communications with world-historical figures as varied as John F. Kennedy and Ho Chi Minh.
Drawer 4 served as repository for the dozens of pocket notebooks that Pauling carried throughout his life, as well as scores
of Dictaphone belts on which Pauling had recorded chapters of a proposed autobiography.
