  Dear Peter:

  I trust that you received your draft card all right. I wrote to the draft board, saying that it was being forwarded to you, but that you were on a trip to Europe, with no fixed address, and that there might be some delay in its reaching you. I don't know if you have any basis for appealing the classification or not I am not sure that physics students are considered to be deferrable.

  I was interested to see the academic standing of the top 25% of each class. The best student in the Institute now seems to be Walter B. Kand, who had a grade point average of 4.000. The next man (Haire, a sophomore) had 3.800. You were number 28 in your class, with average 3.040. Peter Verdier was number 8, with 3.510. You might be interested to know that you beat William R. Smythe, who had 3.030.

  We are getting along all right. We feel some concern about the situation at the University of California - for example John O'Gorman now seems pretty sure that he will lose his job, the Regents meet again today. I myself am having a little difficulty with our own Institute. I hope that you are having a fine time. Love to you and Linus and Anita.

  Yours,

  [Linus Pauling]
