  Professor S. H. Graf

  Oregon State College

  Corvallis, Oregon

  Dear Sam:

  Ava Helen and I feel sad to have learned about the death of Mrs. Graf, and we send you our sympathy.

  Teresa and Ted stopped to see us this morning. It was fun talking with them. We now have all four of our children, plus our daughter-in-law, and plus our three grandchildren here in the house with us. Linus, Jr., with his family, is on his way to Honolulu, where he is to intern at the Queens Hospital. He has just got his M.B. degree at Harvard Medical School. Our second son, Peter, got his B.S. in Physics this year at our Institute. He has been admitted as a graduate student at the Cavendish Laboratory, in Cambridge, and he will be going over to England in September. Linda, who is just twenty, has finished her second year at Reed. Crellin will be a junior in high school next year.

  Teresa said that you will be coming south, to San Diego, in September. I hope that you will plan to stop by to visit us. We are making a trip East in September and probably shall be back about 20 September. We may spend August in England. Our September trip, in any case, will be to attend a seating of the Faraday Society in Toronto and to attend the dedication of the new laboratories of the Procter and Gamble Company, in Cincinnati. I am looking forward to seeing Renton Kirkwood Brodie again - I have not seen him since 1918, and I am very much interested to find our how he fits in to my early memory of him.

  Remember that we are looking forward to having you visit us.

  Cordially yours,

  Linus Pauling:KA
