  Dear Peter:

  Mommy and I were happy to receive your letter. We have been worried about not hearing from you.

  I enclose my check for $500 for the Penguins. I shall plan to send another $500 in a few months.

  I look forward to receiving the list of your publications and manuscripts. I enclose the only reprint that I have got so far. You no doubt saw the letter in Nature. I shall send a set of reprints to you when they are available.

  I am going to give four lectures on nuclear structure in Pomona College the end of February. It is a special lectureship, requiring that the manuscript for a book be submitted, and I plan to prepare a small book on nuclear structure. They have a contract with W. H. Freeman & Company for publications.

  Also, during the last month I have trimmed down The Nature of the Chemical Bond to about 40 percent of its size, so that a paperback can be put out for student use.

  We like our new house very much, but there are a lot of things to be done to it. Mama pointed out that there was a crack about one-sixteenth inch wide and eight feet long, running vertically, at the end of the hall — really, the living room. It is a place where studs come together at an angle, and the carpenters just put these redwood boards next to one another, without any caulking. In fact, I found several places where there were cracks between rooms end the outside, sometimes over a quarter of an inch wide (under beams).

  We like having electricity, hot water, and so on. My big desk, which I have had for 35 years, is in my study at the ranch, and I prepared this new little book on it.

  I have in mind trying to grow some crystals at the ranch — some structures I am interested in. I have a shop there, for making molecular models, but not set up as a chemistry laboratory.

  We left the ranch five days ago, just as it was beginning to rain. There has been about three inches of rain in the whole of southern California during these days. We probably shell go up again in a couple of days.

  Much love,
