Dr. L. H. Farinholt

4800 Forbes Street

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Dear Dr. Farinholt:

My wife and I reached home safely, and everything went well for a day, but on the second day I came down with a cold, from which I am just recovering. This indicates again the advisability of staying away from Southern California.

The following is a statement of my expenses on the trip home.

Wednesday, September 16, 12:45 A.M. left Pittsburgh on Pennsylvania Train No. 71, lower berth 4, Car 12 $3.65

8:05 A.M. arrived Chicago. Spent day in consultation with Professor W. C. Johnson regarding an NDRC contract.

9:00 P.M. left Chicago Union Pacific Train No. 28, lower 12, Car N63 19.16

Thursday, September 17 on train

Friday, September 18 on train

Saturday, September 19, arrived San Francisco, 9:20 A.M. (Train 1 hour late). Day spent at Stanford University Medical School on personal visit and discussion of project for the Committee on Medical Research

9:00 p.m. left San Francisco on Southern Pacific Train No. 76, Room D, Car 72 3.68

Sunday, September 20, arrived Glendale 8:42 A.M. Personal automobile to Pasadena

Attached are the Pullman stubs.

I have not gone to the trouble of summing up the per diem allowances, since you would have to do that anyway as a check.

Did George show you the letter that I wrote about one of our men, Lotzkar, who is looking for a war job? If not, perhaps you should speak to him about it, since I think that Lotzkar would be a good man for you. He would be good for laboratory work or, I think, as press foreman.

Sincerely yours,

Linus Pauling
