16. Personal Safe. 1912-1993.
The four drawers of Linus Pauling's personal safe contained an astonishingly rich
and diverse collection of items which have yielded a much fuller portrait of Pauling's
life and activities. Drawer 1 held over seven-hundred letters between Linus and Ava
Helen Pauling, most of them love letters. Drawers 2 and 3 contained a number of items
that Pauling had deemed to be either sensitive or important, including communications
with world-historical figures as varied as John F. Kennedy and Ho Chi Minh. Drawer
4 served as repository for the dozens of pocket notebooks that Pauling carried throughout
his life, as well as scores of Dictaphone belts on which Pauling had recorded chapters
of a proposed autobiography.
