  Dear Pop:

  The other day Gerardo Jovinelli called to ask how two friends of his could get in contact with Cal Tech. They are Ph.D's in Physics in Rome and are apparently interested in teaching and research. If you could let me know who they could contact, I would be glad to forward the information to Gerardo.

  I enclose a few clippings for your file.

  Liny had a magnificent time during his week with you. He is still talking about it. Thank you very much for having him.

  Much Love,

  Linus

  Dear Dr. Coolidge:

  I am pleased to read your letter of 30 April; although sorry to read that you shall not be giving your course on molecular structure again. The third edition of my book The Nature of the Chemical Bond will be available about January 1960.

  I agree with you that the calculation that you present in your letter shows that no further hybridization occurs in boron trimethyl, and accordingly that the molecule can be given a theoretical treatment that leads to the expectation of a planar structure.

  With best regards, I am

  Sincerely yours,

  Dr. Linus Pauling Jr.

  1531 South Beretania Street

  Honolulu 14, Hawaii

  Dear Linus:

  I suggest that you tell Gerardo Jovinelli to tell his two Ph.D. friends in Rome to write to Professor Robert F. Bacher, Chairman, Division of Physics, Mathematics, and Astronomy, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California, and ask what the possibilities are for getting post-doctoral appointments in physics.

  Thanks for the clippings.

  Mama and I had a good time when we went east for two weeks. We stopped at Ford Motor Company Research Laboratory, University of Michigan, Michigan State University, Detroit, Penn State University, Philadelphia, and New York, and came home by jet. We enjoyed especially a flight at about 2000 feet from Penn State University (central Pennsylvania) over the Appalachians to Philadelphia in a Cessna.

  I am pleased that Liny enjoyed his week with us. Mama and I had a good time with him, too. We are looking forward to having him back again, and to having the other children, too-perhaps one at a time.

  I am just finishing the manuscript of the third edition of the Nature of the Chemical Bond, on which I was working in Honolulu. Most of it has been sent to the publishers already.

  We are getting ready to go to Europe and probably to Africa, where we shall visit Dr. Schweitzer in Lambarene.

  Much love to you and Anita and the children,

  12 May 1959

  Dr. A. C. Claus

  105 Lancaster Street

  Mount Prospect, Illinois

  Dear Dr. Claus:

  I am pleased to have your letter of 8 May. I send here with a copy of the paper and the figures. You will note that Professor Bergman made very little change in your manuscript.

  I hope that you will check the manuscript at once. I feel that it would be a shame if a good account of this work were not published. In particular, I am somewhat worried about the uncertainty in the values of the z parameters— it might require a good bit of work to eliminate this uncertainty.

  Here let me remind you of the suggestion I made that Dr. Samson be asked if he would he willing to work on this paper. I am not sure that he would, but he has so much interest in intermetallic compounds and so much energy; as well as experience, that it might be worth while, unless you are able to devote the effort to it that is needed.

  With best regards, I am

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:jh

  Mrs. Linus Pauling

  3500 Fairpoint Street

  Pasadena, California

  Dear Mom:

  Your coming trip to Africa, Sweden, Norway, England, Germany and Japan certainly sounds interesting. I don't know how you stand all that travelling!

  We shall be gone from here on the 15th of August. We are planning on leaving here June 12th, going straight to Boston where we will spend two days, then on straight to Geneva where we will stay until the end of August. We would very much like to come back via Los Angeles and spend two or three days with the whole family with you. We would be there about August 29th or 30th, and leave September 2nd or so. We have planned this short lay over at the end of the trip so that we can buy a few things in the California stores on our way back. At any rate, you won't be home when we come through on our way over.

  You are absolutely welcome to stay in our house if you would like. A friend of mine, Grover Liese, will be living here in our absence. He is a very nice chap who interned with me at Queen's. He is coming here for the summer to fill in for a radiologist who is going to Europe on vacation. I have no idea what the condition of the house will be on your arrival. In fact, there is some possibility that you might not want to stay here. However, if you do, I would be very happy to arrange with the Powells to pick you up at the airport and chauffeur you around.

  Another possible factor is that I know that John Kelly Jr. is planning on writing Pop to be a principal speaker at a little institute on nuclear disarmament that he is planning for the summer. This may or may not fit in with your plans. I can't help but be a little bit suspicious of John Kelly as I am of all ultra-radicals, but he is certainly a nice young fellow nevertheless, I have been contributing some money to his Sane Nuclear Policy projects here.

  Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing you again where ever it is.

  Much love,

  Linus

  American Tourister

  Company West Warwick,

  Rhode Island

  Gentlemen:

  I am writing to make a suggestion to you about the design of your American Tourister luggage.

  Some months ago my wife and I bought five bags, from Robinson's, of the American Tourister luggage.

  So far, the handle has been pulled loose from two of these bags. This has caused us considerable trouble—it is a nuisance to have the handle pulled loose from your bag, when you are on a long lecture tour, perhaps in a foreign country.

  I may say that the bag was not heavily packed, in either case. Its weight was only about twenty-five pounds; but I suppose that the porter (in each case at an airport) may have jerked it somewhat, while picking it up.

  I have now examined the bags, and I write to make a suggestion to you. The bags are poorly designed, from an engineering point of view. The handle is attached to two bosses, which are stapled to the body of the bag. However, the attachment of the handle is at one end of the boss, in such a way that the boss acts as a lever, and easily pulls the staple loose. The force exerted on the staple is about three times as great as it would be if the attachment of the handle were directly above the staple, or, if there were two staples, with the attachment of the handle in between them.

  I recommend that you change the design in a simple way, to correspond to good engineering practice. Then you will not have trouble with the handles pulling loose.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:jh

  Dear Peter,

  I have just checked Chapter 5 of the manuscript of The Nature of the Chemical Bond, and find that I have referred to the tetrahedral configuration of the ion NiCl₄ ^-- as having been verified by x-ray diffraction by you, Ph.D. Dissertation, University London, 1959. Perhaps this is not the right reference -- could you let me know about this point.

  I am having a hard time getting the manuscript finished before starting off on the trip, but I am committed to doing so, and accordingly I have to stick pretty much on the job.

  Much love from

  [Linus Pauling]

  Dear Mamma,

  Thanks you for your many letters. I am sorry not or write more.

  We are looking forward to seeing you. When are you coming how long are you staying and do you want a car? We have been looking at houses. We have narrowed down the field to two or three streets in Notting Hill. I shall show you the place. We are considering just now a home that has been rebuilt and we could move right in and to reasonable standards, but a little too expensive. You have to pay the profit of the guy who overhauled the place and then it is not quite what you want buy an advantage is that it is less work for you and you can move in sooner. I think we shall make an offer on this place and see what happens. I have been giving some lectures and will give a little course next week on computing it should be fun.

  Thank you. The 1^st issue of Sunset came today. Very nice you are a love.

  We have been trying to get a new bed for you but no success so far. I hope we succeed.

  How long are you staying this summer and where are you going?

  Brilliant town planning on Notting Hill. The growing district. Many of our friends live there but the only one who makes use of its special advantages is Mike Bernard.

  love from,

  (XXXOOO)! Peter

  Dear Mom:

  Rest assured that you are very welcome to stop off here August 15th on your way through. I see no reason why it should bother Liese at all. We shall be careful to avoid telling anyone about it so that you won't be bothered. We shall inform the Powells that you will be coming and that they are to meet you. Just to make sure, you might send them a wire prior to leaving Japan. Their address is the same as our's 3909 Round Top Drive. His name is Herbert and her's is Mary.

  We are awfully sorry to miss you on your way through here, but are looking forward to seeing you in Pasadena at the end of August or the beginning of September. We shall let you know more exactly when we have our schedule finalized. Best wishes and have a good time on your trip.

  accident

  type:

  Would you type this and put it away in your files so that you can get it in case the fellow wants me as a witness - we'll have this record. May 27, 1959.

  My wife and I have just seen an accident on the highway (I think its number is 138), the Foothill Blvd. crossing the Big Tujunga wash. We were coming south at a speed of about 50 miles an hour. There were 3 cars ahead of us, all with separations between adjacent cars of perhaps 50 to 100 ft. and all moving at the same speed. A pickup truck pulling a horse trailer was going north on the same highway. My wife said that she noted that the trailer began to sway. This pickup truck seemed to be going at about the same speed, 50 miles an hour. The trailer then broke loose and hurtled across the highway, toward the west. The first of the 3 cars ahead of us was struck in the right front by the trailer which then went over the bank and was broken up. The right front tire was blown out and the radiator and right front fender were badly damaged.

  We stopped our car and looked over the situation and I gave my name to the man in the car which had been struck. He seemed to be in his 60’s, slender, with gray hair. The car was a green station wagon. The man probably was not hurt, but seemed to be shaken. He had put on his brakes. There were skid marks on the pavement for about 50 feet. His car had been pushed by the impact so that it was facing to the southwest, about a 45 degree turn. The men in the pickup were about 40 and 20 years old, respectively. My wife has made a note of the license numbers.

  L.P.
