  Dear Fred:

  I was happy to receive your letter. Ava Helen and I send our best regards to you and your whole family

  It is interesting that you should have made such a long trip by car in one day. I think that in general you should plan not to drive so far. I find that three hundred miles is about as much as I like to do in one day.

  It is fine that you had a wonderful trip to Europe.

  I shall see to it that you receive a copy of the third edition of College Chemistry, when it is printed. I have not yet read the page proof.

  I have put in quite a bit of material that is not found in other texts. Perhaps I have gone too far in the discussion of theoretical matters, but I've put a good bit of it in fine print.

  Ava Helen and I had an interesting experience last month. We spent three weeks in Latin America - Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Mexico. We visited the Presidents of the first three countries, and talked with them about their proposal that the whole of Latin America be made a nuclear-free zone. We also talked with some other members of the government and with many people in the peace movements in these countries. We looked over the slums in the big cities, and were shocked by the misery and degradation of the people there, who are, however, better off than those in the country, we were told.

  Today we are going to go to our ranch to stay for about a week and have some rest, although I find the ranch a good place to work, because I can study and write without being disturbed.

  Cordially yours,

  Linus Pauling.Hpg
