    18 January 1961

    Dear Linus,

    I enclose a thermofax copy of a letter that I have received from the World Congress of Psychiatry. I answered by saying that I was pleased to accept the invitation, and that my wife and I would probably be present during most of the Congress, 4 to 10 June.

    It would be fine if you and Anita were to attend this Congress, also. Did you go to either the first or the second World Congress of Psychiatry?

    Have you had any experience with electroencephalograms? We have bought an apparatus, and are planning to carry on a study of EEG records, by a new method, which I hope will be more useful than the standard jiggly lines. We propose to convert the jiggles into a sound pattern on a magnetic tape, speeded up enough to bring it into the audible region, and then listen to it. It might be possible to get more out of records of this sort than the ordinary written records.

    Much love from

    [Linus Pauling]

    Dear Mamma,

    I hope your plans for us all to be at Daddy's party come off because I want to come. I like coming to the United States, particularly when I am feeling blue. I also want to find out what is going on scientifically. I have asked the bosses and they are willing to let me off for a while.

    A present for Pa; how about one of those relief maps such as you gave me? The map of the United States is nice but the colouring is not so pleasing. It is too red. You can see them all in the Geology building that is further to the west on the 1st or 2nd floor. The place is Aero Service Corporation, Philadelphia 20, Pennsylvania.

    Calif: 41" x 47" high, scale 1"=16 mi. $45.00 FOB Phily.

    World: 61" x 42", scale 1"=434 miles $47.50

    US: 64"x40", scale 1"=50 miles, $47.50

    I like the California one for Pa, but you know his likes better than I. I am writing to them to ask them to send you a catalogue.

    love from

    Peter
