Dear Alice:

I am glad that you are home again and I only wish that I had sent you a letter also to Japan which I really intended to do.

This move to Santa Barbara has been very strenuous coming as it did just after our return from this heavy and arduous trip to Germany. Also you know that we are building a house at our Ranch and everything together keeps us flying around like chickens with their heads off. This old proverb has a great deal of significance and meaning.

This morning Linus and I made a tape for the Centre and we discussed how we had first met each other and what we thought the future of the world would be. They seemed very well satisfied with it and I hope that it does get some distribution. They intend to make a tape with me alone and one with Linus in order to round things out.

I must say that we are enjoying it very much here in Santa Barbara and yesterday I went on a wonderful tour in the back country with a woman friend and we went swimming in an artesian pool which was so bitterly cold that I thought my arms would drop off. Then we sat on the warm rocks and had a good lunch and in general had a wonderful day.

I must say that I enjoy these little times with women when we have very satisfying discussions. On my tape this morning I said that the proof of a well adjusted woman was whether she behaved differently before men than before women. That a real really adjusted woman behaved the same way in both circumstances. This seemed to surprise Mr. Kelly and Florence Mischel very much. I have believed this however for a long time even though I cannot substantiate it scientifically.

I shall read your article in Frontier Magazine. This moving has kept me from doing all of the reading that I do ordinarily.

I do hope that your son David gets along well and I especially hope that you will not be too troubled about him. Parents lose their influence with children and I think this is a good thing and then after a certain age the children return to parents as really good enjoyable friends and companions and this is a much more satisfying relationship than even the parent-offspring one. Perhaps you will not believe me but I speak I think from a bit of experience.

Do come to see us when you come to Santa Barbara and tell us all about your long journey. I am so glad that you had it. Linus and I send affectionate good wishes to you and we look forward to seeing you and to seeing your sister again. We remember her but she has not called on us since we moved here.

We have some good friends who live right on the beach and it has been fun to go there and go swimming. I had not swum in the ocean for such a long time that I was surprised to find that I was rather frightened of the surf again. But after a minute or two I recovered my joy in swimming in salt water.

Sincerely,

Ava Helen Pauling
