  5 August 1963

  Professor Carlos Chagas

  Institute of Biophysics

  Rio de Janeiro

  Brazil

  Dear Professor Chagas:

  I have been looking forward to visiting your Institute, in accordance with your invitation, but my heavy schedule of work has prevented me from planning to come to Rio de Janeiro for a period of one or two months, as you suggested.

  Now I expect to arrive in Rio de Janeiro, with my wife, on 15 August 1963. My wife and I shall have a couple of engagements during the stay there, but I should be pleased to give a lecture, or two lectures, if you wish me to do so.

  I developed a short while ago (Science, 134, 15 (1961)) a molecular theory of general anesthesia, and I would be pleased to lecture on this subject.

  Also, I could speak on The Hemoglobin Molecule in Relation to Disease and to Evolution.

  I suggest that you talk with Dr. Valerio Knoder or Mr. Carlos Ronchetti, Brazilian Movement of Partisans of Peace, Tel: 22-02-77. They will know what my schedule is, and any time or times during our visit in Rio that they say is free would be acceptable to me for visiting your laboratory and giving one or both of these lectures.

  I am pleased that I shall have the opportunity of seeing you and visiting your laboratory, even though it is only for a brief visit.

  Sincerely yours,

  Dictated by Linus Pauling
