Dr. Percy L. Julian

The Julian Laboratories, Inc.

9352 West Grand Avenue

Franklin Park, Illinois

Dear Percy:

I am pleased that your son, Percy, Jr., is thinking of attending the California Institute of Technology, after he graduates year after next, and that you and he are planning to visit the California Institute of Technology on Thursday 4 April.

I have a speaking engagement in Santa Barbara on 4 and 5 April, and I shall be away from Pasadena from 4 to 9 April. Could you come over on 3 April, in order that I might see you?

If not, please come on 4 April. Professor Niemann is out of town this week, but I shall see that one of the other members of our Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering is expecting you, and that arrangements are made to take care of you.

Thank you for sending me a copy of your letter of 26 March to Dr. Emery. I am not planning to attend the Miami meeting. I had thought about writing a letter of protest to the American Chemical Society, but so many things have been happening to me during the last few weeks that this job did not get done. I have been rather discouraged, too, because my letters of protest have had so little effect in the past; nevertheless, I think that this sort of protesting has to be continued.

With best regards, I am

Sincerely yours,

Linus Pauling:W

2 April 1957

Dear Peter:

Mama and I were pleased to be reminded of your existence. I thank you for sending me the suggested corrections in GENERAL CHEMISTRY. I am afraid that there will not be a new edition of GENERAL CHEMISTRY for several years because it is not selling very fast (compared with COLLEGE CHEMISTRY), and the stock on hand will not be exhausted until perhaps 1959.

I enclose my check for $500. I have forgotten what agreement we reached about the money for your expenses - I shall try to find my notes on the subject. If you remember, please tell me.

I am very busy right now. Today I take a screen test, and next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday I am to be photographed (color-sound movies). One 50-minute lecture will be screened on each of these three days. The three lectures, covering the subject of chemical valence and molecular structure, essentially as presented to the freshmen here, are for the National Science Foundation, which plans to use them in the summer institutes for high school and Junior college teachers in science and mathematics, 50 of which are to be held this summer.

Mama and I are going to Santa Barbara day after tomorrow, for a couple of lectures, and then we shall have two or three days at the ranch, before coming back for the movie sequence.

Do you know that Linda is working for Dr. Corey, attempting to grow protein crystals? She has been on the job for a couple of months now, and seems to be doing well. Dr. Corey has just come back from a month's vacation in Honolulu.

I have been too busy to finish writing the paper on water. I propose to present the results at the meeting in Ljubljana.

Crellin has a job working for Professor Campbell this summer - he will be injecting rabbits, running agglutination tests and so on.

Mama is very busy now, taking French lessons with Berlitz in preparation for the visits to universities in France.

I think that we have found a man who will lease our service station and also act as manager for the ranch. We ought to have some cows there, because the grass is growing pretty high all over the place.

Give my love to Julia and to Thomas

Love from

[Linus Pauling]

15 April 1957

Dr. W. Walker

Child Health Department

Royal Victoria Infirmary

Newcastle-on-Tyne

England

Dear Dr. Walker:

I have been interested to read your letter, in which you ask about the possibility of neutralizing maternal antibodies against the Rh antigens.

My colleague Professor Dan H. Campbell has during recent years made a considerable effort to isolate haptens from Rh positive cells, with the idea that they would neutralize the maternal antibodies. He was unsuccessful in this work, and it is my understanding that other people who have tried the same thing have been unsuccessful. I think that this is a reasonable attack on the problem, and it is too bad that it has failed, so far. Professor Campbell is also interested in the general problem of the permeability of the placenta to antibodies. Not very much is known in this field, and I think that additional experiments would be worth while.

Sincerely yours,

Linus Pauling:W

19 April 1957

Dear Mamma,

Thank you for your letter and thank you for the Scientific American, which I enjoy very much, except for the guided missiles. It sounds that you are much too busy, and should try not to have so much work.

We are getting along well. Thomas is immense and fat and beautiful. He is very backward, no teeth, cannot crawl, still drinks at the breast, though only at breakfast I guess, and only just learned to say "da da da da da da." He is lovely. Julia is fine, works hard, gets a lot done. I have been working on a number of crystals, chiefly at the R.I. We are quite happy in our new flat. It is a long way from town. I have ordered some book shelves so it will be somewhat neat soon. At present there are vast piles of books and magazines. We expect you to stay with us this summer when you come.

The Dunitzs liked their ** very much. Their second baby was born Tuesday; Julia Gabrielle.

love,

XXXOOO Peter

Thank you for the Audio. I sent some labels, you can glue on to the original wrappers.

19 April 1957

Dear Daddy,

Thank you for your letter and for the money. I do not think that we ever really settled an arrangement for the money. You said you would buy the Porsche and I could live on the proceeds of it and the Merc. I said I did not really want to live on the Porsche, because I had borrowed that money from L. Junior, and while he might give me a car, he probably would not give me the money, and I expect this still to be true. I think Crellin will be able to sell the Merc this summer. Anyway, I am living at the rate of about $250 a month, I think.

I have stopped work on ReCl₄ (too big). I expect I have crystals of NH₄ReCl₄ and (Ch₃)₄NReCl₄ to look at, have begun an analysis of NI⁺⁺(NO₃)₂ • 2Et₃P, monoclinic, 8 x 8 x 16, green paramagnetic, though I have just been sidetracked for a fortnight on NH ₄CuS₄ which I made. It is orthorhorbic, 5.3 x 13x? Where? Has some disorders that I do not yet understand. They are lovely needles about .001 mm thick. This is the Easter holiday, and I hope to get the major data from Ni(NO ₂)₂Et₃P this week while the equipment is available. I am using the Weissenberg camera on the rotating anode tube.

We are getting along well, being arm and fairly healthy. Thomas is lonely and fine and big.

When you first arrive, perhaps you should wander along and see JBS [Haldane]. He leaves about July 15^th I think.

Much love from,

Peter
