  Dear Dave:

  I am glad that you have accepted appointment as Senior Fellow in Research. It might be a good idea for you to get any information you can about x-ray cameras for use with alloys. If a specially well made camera were available commercially, we might buy it and ship it to Pasadena.

  I doubt that you should teach under your Carbon and Carbide appointment, but I think we might be able to change your appointment so that part of your salary was paid directly from Institute funds, thus permitting you to teach a course, the nature of which we can decide later.

  I suggest that we not bother Dr. Bell for living quarters, but rather have Miss Roth take care of it. You might send me a detailed statement of your plans.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling

  P.S. Dear Dave:

  We are just getting settled after a good trip over. We were 12 hours late in leaving N.Y. because of a blizzard, and even after waiting twelve hours the ship went off only partially filled. The "Queen Mary" is noted for rolling, but otherwise it was not rough. A car met us at the dock, and in two and a half hours we were here.

  Dr. Pauling has asked me to see about a room for you. As soon as I know when you're arriving and a bit more about Oxford, I will be glad to do this. It is wonderful here and I'm sure you'll enjoy your visit.

  Best wishes for the New Year.

  Priscilla Roth

  Professor J. Hayrovsky

  Vohradach 7

  Prague II, Czechoslovakia

  Dear Professor Heyrovsky:

  I thank you very much for your kind letter of congratulation on my receipt of the Davy Medal. I am very greatly pleased to have been given this fine honor.

  I think that it would be good for you to plan to visit the California Institute of Technology in the spring of 1949 during your American trip, staying for two weeks or a month, and discussing your work in polarography and related fields with our staff members and students. I do not think that it would be wise to plan to have you give a series of lectures, but I would like to ask you to present a seminar talk and perhaps a second one. We shall be glad to pay the cost of your board and room at the Athenaeum, and to provide the sum of one hundred dollars toward your travelling expenses.

  I am getting along all right at Oxford now— my lectures begin next week. My wife and three younger children are here, and we have found a small house, into which we shall move in a few days. We send our very best wishes to you and Mrs. Heyrovsky for the future.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:par

  Dear Beets:

  I have been getting along well here at Oxford-getting work done on some new ideas on molecular structure. We are all settled now in a house (an apartment, rather), and are enjoying life. The weather has not been bad - not cold, but rather wet.

  I am writing to you especially now about an idea that turned up in conversation with Mirsky in New York. He pointed out to me that there is no possibility whatever that Northrop would go to New York to work in the Rockefeller Institute Laboratory there, and that, of course, the Rockefeller Institute is committed to continue to support him and his work until he reaches retiring age, a few years from now. The idea is that if we could make suitable laboratory space available to him and Dunitz and whatever other people might be working with Northrop, then the Rockefeller Institute would without doubt continue to pay the salaries of both men and perhaps other assistants for Northrop, and might possible even contribute to the laboratory expenses - there is a reasonable chance that Northrop's regular budget would be continued until his retirement.

  I think that it is quite probable that Northrop would be enough interested to live in Pasadena, under circumstances that please him, to accept such a position, and that the Rockefeller Institute would continue support. Would you look into this matter, talk it over with Leo, and take whatever action seems indicated.

  With best regards, I am

  Sincerely yours,

  [Linus Pauling]
