    11 April 1961

    Dear Harvey,

    I too have been disturbed by the way in which Vernon Ingram writes his papers, and his last paper in Nature seemed to me to be worse than the earlier ones.

    I think that a letter to Nature is called for.

    If you feel that it is worth while to have me associated with you, I would be willing to sign the letter.

    In addition to the points that you mention, I have been disturbed by Ingram's failure on occasion to refer to our paper of 1949.

    Why don't you prepare a draft of the paper to Nature? If you would like me to be a coauthor with you (Itano and Pauling), let me see the draft before it is submitted.

    Sincerely yours,

    [Linus Pauling]

    Dear Carleton,

    Thanks very much for your last three reprints.

    I had a nice surprise six weeks ago - all four of our children appeared, to help celebrate my sixtieth birthday.

    In a couple of months my paper on a molecular theory of general anesthesia should appear in Science, I am sure that you will be interested in it.

    Please come around to see us if you pass through Pasadena in the near future.

    Cordially yours,

    [Linus Pauling]

    19 April 1961

    Dear Mr. Hammarskjold:

    On 16 February we submitted to you an Appeal to Stop the Spread of Nuclear Weapons. A copy of the Appeal is attached to this letter. This Appeal was presented as a petition by us and our 720 cosigners, whose names were given to you, as individuals. We mentioned in our letter of transmittal that no organization had been responsible for the planning or the writing of the petition or for the collection of signatures.

    Shortly thereafter some additional signatures reached us. On the attached sheets there are given the names of 62 people to whom we had written, and who are to be classed among the initial signers of the petition.

    We may point out that there are two Nobel Laureates in this list, bringing the number of Nobel Laureates who have signed the petition up to 40. Moreover, some additional countries are now represented.

    We have also had copies of the petition printed, and have circulated these copies in the United States and other countries. We are submitting herewith some of these copies, with the attached signatures: a total of more than 50,000 from the United States and Canada. Other copies will be submitted to you later.

    We continue to feel that the problem of achieving international control of armaments, leading ultimately to a total and universal disarmament, would be greatly complicated and increased in difficulty if many nations or groups of nations were to have stockpiles of nuclear weapons. We continue to hope that the spread of nuclear weapons to more nations or groups of nations can be delayed long enough to permit an effective attack to be made on the problem of achieving peace and disarmament in the world.

    Sincerely Yours,

    [Linus Pauling, Ava Helen Pauling]

    P.S. Professor A. Butenandt, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, Germany, has also signed the Appeal as an initial signer. His signature, which appears on the back of the petition, brings the number of signatures of Nobel Laureates up to 41.
