- Letter from Arthur Goss to LP, RE: Goss is sorry that LP felt as he did about Goss leaving the Fifth World Conference. Goss is enclosing a copy of a letter he sent to Mr. Yasui and Moritaki. Goss asks LP to remember that he was not there to hear the speeches in the early days of the conference and was also not present during the hours of the steering committee. Thus LP should not make judgements about why Goss resigned from the Conference. Goss asks that since LP has such world-wide influence, that he will use it to advice that Japan Council that such conferences must not try to worsen the East/West tension. Goss maintains that his resignation was not a hasty decision.

December 31, 1959
Dear Linus and Anita:
Dick Lippman's death was a great blow to us all, although we knew immediately after the operation that his chances of survival were small.
We have had a pleasant Christmas, except for the feeling of unhappiness because of Dick's illness. Crellin and Lucy and the two little girls have been with us, and also Professor and Mrs. Hishiwaki and their two little children. They are to leave on the tenth of January; which will be a relief for Mama. We had not expected that things would turn out in this way. The arrangement that we had made was that the Hishiwakis would stay in our house while we were in Australia and New Zealand, but the arrival of Hishiwaki's family was delayed because of visa (or, rather, passport) difficulties, which postponed the period of their stay.
Much love from
[Linus Pauling]
