    Dear Beets:

    In two days you will be receiving the diploma of the Nobel Prize from the King. It is fine that this great honor has gone to you. Best congratulations!

    Everything is going along well here. I am worried about Elfrieda, who has not found a job. Perhaps Biology, which employed her for eight years, could find a place for her.

    Sincerely,

    Linus Pauling:JH
