Please return to L. Pauling

Dear Pauling,

Thanks very much for writing. Mrs. Pauling's and your congratulations are very much appreciated.

We were interested to hear that two of your children are in Europe. Please tell them to come and see us when they are in Oxford next time.

I shall be attending the symposium of Temperature at the end of October in Washington. If I can get away for a bit longer, I might visit Pasadena as I would like to discuss the implications of my latest high pressure work with the geophysicists

Kindest regards,

Yours sincerely,

Francis Crick [actually Peter Pauling]
