  August 8, 1950

  Mr. Roger Hayward

  920 Linda Vista

  Pasadena, California

  It has been pointed out to me that in Figure 11-1 on page 231 of COLLEGE CHEMISTRY the sodium ion and the fluoride ion are shown as having essentially the same size. The crystal radii are given in THE NATURE OF THE CHEMICAL BOND - in feet they are on page 232, where the sodium ion is indicated as having radius 0.95 and the fluoride ion having radius 1.36, essentially the same as potassium ion.

  When Mrs. Chesse sends the cut to you, would you increase the fluoride ion a little bit in size, so that it looks about the same size as potassium ion. Then would you bring it or send it to me.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:w

  38 che des Cottages

  Genive, Suisse

  12 August 1950

  Dear Mamma,

  I love you. We have been having a reasonably wonderful time. We just returned from Paris where it is terribly hot.

  I have now two weeks to use. I think I shall go to Vienna.

  As you know I inquired about going to school in London. Much to my surprise, Daddy seems to favor the idea. I don't why; he hasn't in the past.

  The family seems assured that I am staying here, which is not a sure case.

  If I stay, I shall of course need some things. Chiefly clothes and books. My clothes are in that footlocker that red suitcase. Do not bother about them yet. We do not know yet. I will want some other things so let them stay a while.

  It would be three long years hard work but learning much. I shall have to persuade you to come visit me.

  Please tell Daddy to send his letter to c/o American Express, Vienna. I will be there, I hope.

  Crellin wrote a remarkable letter. I should copy it & send it to you. He went on the assumption that I was staying here and used no question marks. A remarkable boy, that.

  Someone here said it would be better for me not to stay here where I am privileged because of my nationality. I have always been privileged because of my name. At Cal I would not be very much it is too big. I would have to be someone for myself.

  I am somewhat afraid of being myself and controling myself. Of not having guiding hands.

  Much love,

  Peter

  I have predicted a structure for this phase, and I would like to see what the powler photographs look like.

  Dear Dr. Pauling:

  I have just received a letter from my husband, Dalton Trumbo, who tells me he will be eligible for parole next month. It is necessary however, to have a parole employer and a parole adviser. In Dalton's letter to me he suggested that he would like very much to have you for his parole adviser, and I hope you will find it possible to do this.

  As I understand it, the parole adviser is given monthly reports which have to be filled out by the parolee and approved and mailed to the U. S. Probation Officer by the parole adviser, and that is all.

  As you must realize, I am very anxious to have him home again and hope you will let me know as soon as possible of your decision, and when I can see you, if you decide that you will be so kind as to do this.

  Sincerely,

  (Mrs.) Dalton Trumbo

  17 August 1950

  Dear Mom and Pop

  I'm glad I'm in Europe it gives me a little time to extricate myself from the Air Force. I've written to Soth my commanding officer in the ERC and to the Surgeon General of the Air Force asking for a deferment to continue school; it was pretty stupid of me to let myself get into this situation. The main trouble is that my specialty is one that is in great demand now. However, I'll keep on writing letters, and hope for the best.

  We've been having an excellent time so far especially with the traveling and camping. The only thing to mar our pleasure is the situation in the Oser household, which is such that Anita especially is very depressed by it.

  We spent a pleasant 10 days in London first, enough to feel that London is an awfully dreary place in which to live, but we were very comfortable in a borrowed house in Goldens Green and with good friends. I spent several days in bookshops, not buying very much but seeing a lot. We saw T.S. Eliot's Cocktail Party, without being much impressed. The best part is the rhythm and poetry of the lines. We saw also a very interesting early Noel Coward Movie in which he, a cynical maltreated of all those people with which he comes in contact; is drowned but given a 30 day reprieve by the devil in order to find a person who loves him, so that his soul may rest in peace. Admirably done by Coward.

  Then Anita flew to Geneva, and Pete and I went over to Dieppe, picked up the car, and drove across France in a day and a half. After a short stay in Geneva we three took a weeks trip through the Jura mountains of Switzerland, then to Basel, Berne, and Fribourg. Then another week in Geneva, then a too hurried 10 days in the S. of France, visiting Cannes Antibes, the Cote d' Azur, and finally Marseille. What phenomenal country! Incredibly gorgeous, with the brilliant blue Mediterranean balanced by the orange rocky, cliffy coast. It defies description. Cannes was interesting, with a beautiful setting, filled to the brim with tourists and huge automobiles, and extremely high prices. Marseille also deserves a better reputation than it has, because it too is extremely lovely in scenery: The harbor is not natural, but behind a huge breakwater several miles in length which effectively cuts off most of the city from a view of the sea, but our hotel on one side looked over the city, harbor, bay, and all. Then we rushed up the Rhone valley, through Avigour, over to the Leine valley, through some of the Chateau district to Chartre and cathedral, then to Paris where we spent 5 days, most of it sick in bed, but well enough to shop a little. I didn't have tome or energy to sight see, but I hope to do some when we go back in September for a few days.

  Then a few days in Geneva, and now were in Halion Switzerland after going over Furka and St Gotthard passes. We'll spend 2 weeks traveling around Cearo and Maggiori, then Uri, Schwyz, Lucerne and back to Geneva. Peter is not with us this time; he has gone to Zurich to see Peter Waser and may go to Vienna. He's trying hard to decide what to do about school next fall; at present, it looks as thought he's go to London.

  Our plans for the final 2 weeks are not yet definite we will stay somewhere near Geneva until Joy Pickard gets married on the 9^th of September, then probably go to Paris again until returning to the US on the 15^th. Then a few days later Anita will go to California (I don't know yet whether I will) and will probably see you.

  Peter has been in excellent health; his face has been in very good shape all along. He eats like a horse. I think also that we've been able to tone down his preoccupation with the girls. Once in a while we've gotten tired of his continued boisterousness, but on the other hand he has a considerable amusement value. I think also he had a good time on the trip.

  Much love to all the family. I would like very much to see you all again in September, but I'm not certain I can make it out.

  Linus
