Letter from Linus Pauling to N.V. Sidgwick. May 1, 1951.
Pauling writes Sidgwick to tell him of his use of and suggestions for Sidgwick's book.
He writes of the trips around the US that he has taken with Ava Helen and the different
meetings he attended and spoke at. Pauling informs him that Kimpton became Chancellor
of the University of Chicago and that the university is quite happy with him. He
outlines the papers that he is writing with Corey on the structure of proteins and
how it relates to the structure of muscle and hair. He informs him that Peter will
not be finishing his undergraduate work at the University of London because they would
not accept his credentials but instead would be finishing up his undergraduate work
at the California Institute of Technology and would perhaps complete his graduate
work in England. Pauling talks about the new pool that he and Ava Helen had put in
at the house and of their daily swims through the dry winter. He wrote Jenkins a
reference for a full-time chemistry job. He closes by saying that he will be unable
to go abroad over the summer as originally planned but would be doing some traveling
in the US, including Massachusetts and a first time visit to Hawaii.
