20 OXFORD STREET
CAMBRIDGE
MASSACHUSETTS
Feb. 20,
Dear Dr. Pauling,
We are hoping that you are going to be able to come in and visit the Harvard
department of chemistry for a few days in the near future. Mrs. Conant and I would
like to have you stay with us during the time of your Cambridge visit. Our house is
right next door to the new laboratory and I think you would find it a convenient headquarters
for your tour of inspection. Just let us know when you will arrive. We have plenty
of room and will consider it a great pleasure if you will arrange to stay with us.
I hope to be able to tell you person how anxious I am to have you join the
staff. Inspite of all the claims on your heart of California and Cal. Tech, I think
you will find much of interested here and much to convince you that there is a rather
unusual opportunity for your scientific work here at Harvard.
Very sincerely,
James B. Conant
