  • Letter from LP to Barclay and Linda Kamb, RE: LP just found their last letter and decided he had not answered it.  He got behind in answering other letters, and didn’t respond to Dr. Johannson in time for him to accept the fellowship.  LP wishes he had known Tschikvadse before they left in November, that way they could have called on him, but he is pretty sure they will both be invited to work in Belov’s lab for a few months.  LP and AHP are still undecided as to what to do with the house and lot.  Part of the land could be subdivided, which would cut down on taxes.  [Letter from Barclay Kamb to LP, October 24, 1960] [Filed under LP Biographical: Personal and Family: Linda Helen Pauling Kamb, 1940-1994), 1960-1969]
