Dear Seeley:
I thank you very much for your letter of 5 August, and the enclosed check for $200.00, which I have turned over to the Y. M. C. A.
It was a pleasure to talk with you over the telephone on Tuesday.
I am leaving today for three days in Idylwild where I shall take part in a conference on the Anomalous Magnetization of Rocks. Some rocks are found to be magnetized in a direction opposed to that of the earth's magnetic field. The explanation of this fact is not known, and the conference is to be devoted largely to the discussion of this anomaly.
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling
