  Dear Mrs. Harris and Mrs. Hopkins:

  Some (perhaps all) of your letters have arrived.

  Everything has gone along almost perfectly. The Aula meeting was grand. The Vice-Rector gave a speech thanking us.

  Friday night there was a great torchlight procession in our honor - quite a sight!

  Please send glossy print, cliches [?], biography to Mr. Sheehan in Montreal. Also 100 copies of Bryn Mawr, and tell him he can have more if he wants.

  Best regards,

  Linus Pauling
