• Letter from Peter Pauling to LP Jr. [Filed under LP Biographical: Personal and Family, Box 5.044, Folder 44.5]

  Linus Pauling, Jr., M.D.,

  3909 Round Top Drive,

  Honolulu,

  Hawaii, U.S.A.

  22nd March, 1963.

  Dear Linus,

  I understand you will be coming to Europe at Easter and hope that you can come through London and see us. Our house is not yet ready, unfortunately, and so we are still a bit crowded. Nonetheless, it should not be so bad as to make it unbearable to you and we would like very much to see you.

  Can you please send me a book by Robert S. de Ropp, Drugs And The Mind, a Black Cat book, Grove Press, Inc. New York 1961, 75 ¢? Could you also get me sent please a copy of the newest edition of the Merck Manual for Physicians? The copy you gave me is now more than 10 years old and rather out of date. We use it a good deal and would certainly appreciate a new edition.

  My house is going slowly. It has been much more of a strain than I anticipated. Nevertheless, it is proceeding. It will be very nice, I think. We should get in this summer, if I can find a little time to finish the drawings and specifications.

  I am hopeful that my application for a Research Grant from the United States Public Health Service is going to be approved, and that I can go ahead with these plans. Everything is coming along quite nicely, the computer will be available to me on the 1st July. I may have some trouble getting the mechanical part of the instrument made, but I am hopeful about that.

  I have sent $680 to Cummins for you as I understand that this money is to be repaid to you. I actually sent it in Cummins name on the theory that he could handle it. I asked him to let me know if this was not proper. I am sorry to be late with this.

  I am toying with the idea of starting a small instrument company here in Britain to manufacture automatic instruments beginning with the one dimensional diffractometer that I have designed. I also want very much to get someone to produce commercially my computer controlled single crystal diffractometer and hope to be able to tie up with some American outfit to do this.

  I look forward very much to seeing you.

  With love from,
