  Mrs. Ethel Taylor

  1505 Ashford Way

  Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

  Dear Ethel,

  Thank you for your good letter. Perhaps we shall be able to come to Philadelphia after the first of the year on our return home from Norway. I shall let you know just as soon as our plans are definite. But I’m not absolutely certain now.

  We think that we shall spend one day in Washington - perhaps another in New York, and then it is possible that we could stop in Philadelphia also for homecoming celebrations, if you will permit me to use that term.

  You cannot imagine now busy we are and even though it is a wonderful kind of business, yet it is tiring.

  We leave today for a week at the ranch where we are absolutely alone and in seclusion, and there we plan to write the speeches which we must give in Norway.

  Also, I am going to give the "sermon” at the Unitarian Church on the first of December when I shall take the place of Reverend Fritchman who is going to be in Europe. I am going to talk on the "Second X Chromosome, a Study of Woman". I mean to say a good number of things and some of which will be in refutation of this book, The Feminine Mystique, which I think has some very foolish ideas in it. I mean to make this as good a talk as I can.

  We send you affectionate greetings,

  Ava Helen Pauling
