  Dear Mr. Dyke:

  I think that the newspaper that you read did not reflect my statement accurately. I happened to discuss cigarette smoking and Vitamin C in the same lecture. I enclose a copy of my paper on cigarette smoking, and also the paper in which I discuss ascorbic acid. I also referred to a paper by Katz and collaborators, who showed that school children with a low level of ascorbic acid in the blood showed an increase in I.Q., whereas those with a high level did not when orange juice was added to their diet.

  I attach the reference below.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling

  Dear Dr. Cozen:

  In answer to your question I may say that so far as I am aware, large doses of ascorbic acid do not harm the stomach or mouth mucosa.

  Doses of several grams do have a laxative action in some people. It might be wise to take larger doses with meals.

  I think that it is worth while for nearly every-one to ingest a rather large amount of ascorbic acid. I have been taking about three grams a day for four years. It seems to me to improve the general health.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling

  Dear Dr. Fust:

  I am pleased to have received your letter, in which you ask about Vitamin C.

  I enclose a copy of my 1968 paper, Reference 22 is to two papers by Irwin Stone, in which he presents some arguments to support his conclusion that somewhere around three grams per day may be the optimal intake of Vitamin C for many people, with lighter amounts under conditions of stress. I have been taking three grams per day for four years, and feel that my health has been better, especially in that I no longer have bad colds.

  Dr. S. Katz was involved in a study in which an increase in IC of students was observed when they increased their intake of ascorbic acid. These students were, however, taking only a small amount, and they were deficient in ascorbic acid when they began.

  My associate. Dr. Robinson and I, are working on ascorbic acid and other vitamins, and we have some interesting results about schizophrenia, some of which we hope to publish soon.

  Sincerely,

  Linus Pauling

  Dear Peter,

  I enclose a paper from Science, on acetylcholine. You probably have seen it. I haven't read it, but I notice from the Table of References that there is no mention of your work.

  Reference No. 2 is to Izzy Edelman, of the University of California Medical School, San Francisco. Mama and I saw him and his wife a week or so ago. He came to a Womens International League reception at San Francisco, at which he spoke. You perhaps remember him from the year that he spent in Pasadena.

  Mama is working very hard getting our house in Portola Valley fixed up the way she wants it - it is being repainted, a deck is being built outside of the living room, and some landscaping is being done.

  Much love from

  Daddy

  Dear Mr. Sarruf:

  I am pleased that you should write to me about the nomination of UNESCO for the Nobel Peace Prize.

  I agree with you that the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to UNESCO would be thoroughly justified.

  It is my policy to keep my actions about Nobel prizes confidential.

  With best regards, I am

  Sincerely yours,

  Dear Pa,

  Would you please give me some advice on the strategy of publication? I am writing some papers on the conformations of nicotinic and muscarinic agonists of the nervous system. In each case there is a group of structures which have been analyzed by ourselves and others which correlate to say something about the relevant conformation, and also a group of structures which I think I can predict on the basis of conformational correlations of various groups in known crystal structures. Would it be better to write one long paper on nicotinic agonists, for example, in which I include both the known crystal structures and the predicted ones, or should I write two papers for PNAS - one on the known crystal structures and the other on my predicted structures? At the moment I am proceeding on the basis of writing papers short enough to get into PNAS but this means that there will probably be four such papers coming along. The papers on the correlation of observed cholinergic molecules would be with other authors, but I think I would write the papers with the predicted structures by myself.

  I am going to try to get my papers on observed preferred conformations of organic groups published in the Journal of the Chemical Society, Section B or D, but if they won’t publish them I will send them to you for advice. I want to publish these comments on observed preferred conformations so that I can refer to them while discussing conformations of molecules with unknown structures, without repeating the entire arguments repeatedly.

  (I think we will put observed muscarinic agonists in science.)

  Work is going very well here. We are analyzing a crystal structure approximately every three weeks and sending notes on most of them to Chemical Communications. I think I shall apply for the Chair in Physical Chemistry at Bedford College. I probably will not get it and am not sure I want it, but it won’t do any harm to apply I think.

  Much love,

  Peter
