- Note [author unknown]: “Two weeks ago, as Linda, and Crellin (age 6) and I were riding to school, I asked Crellin, “How many days are there in September?” For a minute he said nothing - I repeated the question, and he said “I'm figuring it out”, and then, a few seconds later, “Sixty”. I said “why do you say ‘sixty'?”, to which he answered “Well- ‘Thirty days half September' - if half of September is thirty days, September is sixty days.” [Written at bottom of page: “Aunt's pay”.] [Filed under LP Biographical: Personal & Family, Family Correspondence: Edward Crellin Pauling. 1930-1995, No Date: Box #5.048, Folder 48.2]
