Sir Lawrence Bragg
The Royal Institution
21, Albemarle Street
London, W.1, England
Dear Bragg:
I thank you for your letter and the two new paragraphs of your preface to Watson's book.
I must say that I was shocked to read the book, perhaps one of the earlier drafts, after I had read your preface. I was indignant about the insinuation about my wife and the statements about other people, but also indignant about Watson's treatment of you.
I do not think that you should give the book the support and validification that would be implied by your having written a preface, even despite your disclaimer.
My wife and I were talking recently about our visit to Manchester in 1930. We continue to be grateful to you for your kindness to us at that time (and later, too). We send our best regards to Lady Bragg.
Sincerely,
Linus Pauling
