    21 November 1962

    Dear Lucile,

    Could you send me as soon as possible what information you have about grandfather and grandmother Pauling, where grandfather Pauling was born in Missouri, and when, where they were married, where our father was born, what relatives we now have in Missouri and Illinois, what you know about any other Blankens who are now living in Missouri. I need this information in connection with the libel suit against the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

    Ava Helen and I had a fine time on the trip to Europe from which we have just returned. We were in Brussels, Belgium, and Oslo, Norway. I attended a scientific meeting, the Solvay Conference, in Brussels. Ava Helen and I were invited by the old queen, Queen Elizabeth (grandmother of King Baudouin), to a private luncheon with her, in her palace. She is 86 years old now, and is a lively and intelligent woman.

    With love, from

    [Linus Pauling]
