  January 2nd, 1958

  Dear Mamma,

  I can’t really begin to thank you for all the delicious presents, as always just what everyone wanted. Peter is in heaven, a different sort of breakfast every day. He was getting quite cutting about the monotony, and even Thomas had taken to pushing away his bowl of Parex hardly tasted. I love the dress, and summer just must come this year. I wore the other one for a few hours at Christmas, but nearly froze to death. Thomas’s pajamas are too big, fortunately, as I had just struggled to make some to fit him now and was afraid they would become redundant. This nice soft material is not attainable here; either it is very bulky (hard on the washing) or thin and shift. Also, it is hard to them with feet, which I like. The cake is delicious but Peter says it should be kept; so we are trying to save it. We are planning to have a minor celebration here, this weekend I think. We had offered to entertain a friend of ours at Christmas before we decided to go to my parents, so will do this now instead. The things you sent are just right to fill out the menu, as I already had made two puddings, months ago, but no cake. I am not much good at cakes, always flame it on the oven. We had one of my puddings at my parents. It was most peculiar, as though steeped in syrup of figs, and everyone was most rude about it. Christmas there was not too bad at all, mainly because Peter behaved with such admirable restraint, and I got into only minor arguments with my father to keep him happy. Thomas adored my brother, for some reason, so they were nice for each other and stayed out of mischief. Thomas is developing amazingly now, he runs around everywhere, plays games both formal and improvised with great intelligence and accuracy, and eats all his food instead of refusing most of it. He is not spoiled by too much attention, and doesn’t demand it here. I think he is the sweetest thing my parents have ever seen. They said (often) that he is just like me, except for the expression. I used to glower. He is taller than most 2 ½ year-olds.

  Love to you all, and good health and happiness for the new year,

  Julia

  Dr. and Mrs. Linus Pauling, Jr.

  3909 Round Top Drive

  Honolulu, T.H.

  Dear Linus and Anita:

  I have just received word from the Office of President DuBridge that you have made a gift to the California Institute of Technology for support of research in the field of chemistry and chemical biology under my direction during the coming year, and I am writing to express my thanks to you.

  I think that I may have told you before that this fund is the most useful of all of the funds that we have for support of my research, because it is not restricted to research of a particular sort, and hence permits us to attack some problem that had not been thought of some months or a year earlier, at the time when applications are being made for funds.

  Right now I am especially interested to see how the experiments on injection of deoxyribosenucleic acid into rats will turn out. We are injecting material obtained from the glands of brown rats into albino rats, in the hope of inducing some pigmentation. At the same time, of course, we are injecting material similarly prepared from other albino rats into the albino rats, which can then serve as controls.

  We are also starting to build up a stock of rats with congenital jaundice, known to be the result of the lack of a certain enzyme. We are going to find out whether the injection of deoxyribosenucleic acid prepared from normal rats will cure this disease.

  Mama and I have just returned from a week at the ranch. We drove up to Carmel on Saturday 28 December, and on that evening I spoke to the meeting of college students at Asilomar, a meeting sponsored by the Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. Then on Sunday we drove back to the ranch, where I worked most of the time on the preparation of a third edition of THE NATURE OF THE CHEMICAL BOND. Crellin and Lucy and their baby stopped by for one day, on their way back to Portland. On the way home Mama and I stopped at Shell Beach, just north of Pismo Beach, where we talked with a fuchsia grower about sending 40 or 50 small plants to you. He said that the best time to ship would be in March or perhaps April. I think that he will write to you, sending a catalog, inasmuch as he does not have all of the varieties that you have listed.

  Much love from

  Linus Pauling:w

  Honolulu 14 Hawaii

  Telephone 991658

  January 8, 1958

  Dear Mom,

  As Christmas came and went I remembered how enjoyable last year's was. It certainly was fun to be surrounded by so much family and so much Christmas spirit. This year, being occupied by settling into the new house and getting things to work smoothly, we had a very simple holiday. Next year I hope we can again think of assembling the multitudes.

  I thank you very much for all of your Christmas gifts. The children's packages were really ingenious, although I think we enjoyed the wrapping more than they did. However, in order to balance things off, they enjoyed the contents more than we did. Anita especially liked the pine branches and cones, as she is presently interested in Japanese flower arrangement.

  The weather here fortunately turned cold for Christmas so we had fires going day in and day out for several weeks. Nothing helps more to make Christmas seem appropriate than bad weather and a blazing yule log. My only regret is that we did not get around to making Christmas pudding and supreme sauce to go along with it.

  Having found your letter of May 11,1957, I enclose a check for all that I owe (I think). This is tabulated below:

  Outdated check to Peter Pauling $160.00

  Telephone bill 13.48

  Diaper Service 6.00

  Chemical dishes 15.00

  Total $194.48

  I hope this is right.

  House and garden are coming along slowly but surely. Perhaps by your next visit the planting will be in full swing. I am emphasizing many plants you are familiar with-azaleas, ajuga, trachelospermum, and fuchias. Incidentally, the camellia seedlings from you that I smuggled in are growing well. It is too soon to tell though whether they will flower true.

  My office is proceeding apace. Now all I need are some patients. However, I am told one must be patient oneself for at least a year.

  Best wishes and much love to everyone. I hope it will not be long before you will visit Honolulu. How is the ranch?

  Love,

  Linus

  Linus Pauling. "Let Us Reason Together." 11 January 1958

  We must find an alternative to the monstrous immorality of war - war that now would be suicidal, would mean the end of civilization.

  I believe that there is an alternative: it is to settle the great world problems by use of man's reason, by introducing morality and justice as the principal factors in the conduct of international relations and the solution of world problems.

  Why not start now? Can we not begin by reaching an effective international agreement to stop the testing of nuclear weapons, hydrogen bombs?

  I believe that we can reach such an agreement - an agreement that is safe, that benefits all nations and all people equally, not one nation or group of nations preferentially. The details would have to be worked out by experts, through careful negotiation.

  I know that thousands of my fellow scientists, in many countries, agree with me in this belief.

  Lord Boyd Orr, Mr. Pearson: Do you not also agree? Should not the nations of the world at once take this first step, begin in this way to reason together?

  Why not substitute reason for weapons? Why not start now?

  Mr. Alan M. MacEwan

  7440 S. E. 34th Avenue

  Portland 2, Oregon

  Dear Mr. MacEwan:

  I have been pleased to read your letter of 16 December, and I apologize for not having been able to answer it earlier - I have had a lot of things that have kept me busy recently.

  I think that the best thing that I can do, in answer to your letter, is to tell you that Mr. A. L. Wirin of Los Angeles (257 South Spring Street), who is an attorney for the ACLU here, has been planning to institute suit along the lines that you describe in your letter. I think that Mr. Wirin is in China at this time - he was given permission to go to China, in order that he could gather evidence as attorney for defense in the Powell case. Probably nothing more will be done until his return in a couple of months.

  You might want to get in touch with Mr. Wirin and find out what the situation is. I have agreed with Mr. Wirin that I would help.

  I am pleased to hear that you are doing research work with Dr. Charles Grossman now. Please give my regards to Dr. Grossman. Also, I would be interested to know what you are doing.

  With best regards, I am

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:w

  Dear Mom,

  Your letter re fuchsias (I probably misspelled it before) has arrived and it certainly sounds exciting. There is certainly no real rush, and it is worth it to have healthy well started plants. Thank you very much.

  The little silver picks may be useful for other things than martinis. For example, canapes and pickles. They are made by Merle Boyer and are very good looking, I think.

  I'm glad I got the check off and I hope it's all right.

  I'll try to get Anita going on the Muumuus.

  Much love

  Linus

  21 January 1958

  Dear Professor Hancock:

  I am writing in answer to your letter of 13 January to my wife and me.

  There is no need for you to tell us what you plan to do with the small sum of money that we have made available for support of your research. I am, however, as you no doubt know, interested in everything that is going on in science, and so I am glad to have you tell me what you are thinking about doing on the biosynthesis of prodigiosin.

  Also, I am interested to learn that you have been thinking of trying to synthesize a C₂₂H₂₂ hydrocarbon, which you sketch in your letter. It would be interesting indeed to see what you get out of this attempt.

  Has anyone tried to make the C₂₄H₂₄ hydrocarbon that is somewhat similar, but that has the two six-membered rings opposed in the cage, instead of connected by a single bond?

  Also, has anyone tried to make the compound C₃₀H₃₀ that we might call dodecahedrane - that is, with carbon atoms at the corners of a regular pentagonal dodecahedron, which has the point-group symmetry of the icosahedral class?

  One difficulty about all of these cage molecules involving five-membered rings is that the azimuthal orientation around the carbon-carbon bonds is the unfavorable one, which introduces about 3kcal/mole per bond. That is, for your structure it would introduce about 99 kcal/mole instability. Perhaps some large cage molecule could be devised with the favorable azimuthal orientation; its synthesis would be easier.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:w

  Professor J.E.H. Hancock

  23 January 1958

  Dear Peter:

  In accordance with your request, I have sent $18 to the Scientific American for the subscription for Dr. Phillips.

  I agree with you that something must be done about the international situation. I shall probably go to another meeting of scientists, a small private one, in Canada early in April, and there perhaps will be a big one during the summer.

  George Kennan's lectures on the BBC attracted a considerable amount of interest here too. It was terrible that Acheson should have criticized him. I hope that you can get the calculations for water done right away. It is now more than a year since this work was began and carried along - nearly as far as it is now, and the longer we wait the harder it will be to get the stuff in shape for publication. Please send along what you have, right away, and I might see what I can do about getting anything more that needs to be done taken care of here.

  I enclose your notice of earnings (perhaps also withholdings) from the California Institute of Technology. Do you have a form for reporting your income tax? If you want me to do so, let as know and I shall get one. I think that they have to be returned by 15 April.

  Mama and I had a fine time in New York. We enjoyed our talk with Dag Hammersjkold. However, Mamma came down with the flu on the last day that we were there, and, although she managed to get home, she was sick for three more days, with a fever, and still isn't feeling very well. Then I was in bed for four days with a fever too, and I also am not yet in very good shape.

  Last night we had Eddie and Ruth Hughes and John Kendrew here for dinner. John gave his lecture on the 6-A structure at the seminar yesterday afternoon. Everyone seemed pleased.

  Mama and Pat (your aunt Mrs. Briggs) and I are going to drive up to the ranch tomorrow, coming back on Monday.

  Much love from

  [Linus Pauling]

  31 January 1958

  Mr. Frederick Merrill, Director Refer: P:EWC

  East-West Contacts Staff 511.613/12-2757

  Department of State

  Washington 25, D.C.

  Dear Mr. Merrill:

  I thank you for your letter of 16 January.

  I do not think that there is anything in your letter that justifies the discriminatory action of the State Department in preventing visits of Soviet biologists to the California Institute of Technology, when they are allowed to visit other similar institutions.

  It was my understanding from my telephone conversation with Mr. Lawrence Mitchell that the inclusion of the California Institute of Technology in a closed zone had no logical justification, but was purely arbitrary.

  There is an erroneous statement in the last paragraph in your letter. The only telephone calls that I made in connection with the visit of Professor Orekhovich were to Mr. Mitchell of the State Department and to Dr. Jerome Gross of Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston. I have not had any telephone conversation or any other contact with Ambassador Zaroubin or with anyone else in the U.S.S.R. Embassy.

  I have been told by Dr. Gross that Professor Orekhovich was keenly disappointed at not being able to visit our laboratory, where such basic work on collagen and other proteins has been done; I surmise that the telephone calls to Ambassador Zaroubin were made by Professor Orekhovich, which would be a reasonable thing for him to do. In any case, I did not have any contact with Ambassador Zaroubin, and I trust that you will correct your records accordingly, and not repeat this erroneous statement. Also, I trust that you will give me an explanation of the error.

  Sincerely yours,
