    27 August 1959

    Dear Pete,

    Mommie and I are home again now. Everything went along very well. Both Mamma and I finally caught cold, in Japan, but it was not too bad.

    We enjoyed our visit with Dr. Schweitzer immensely. We shall wait until seeing you before giving you the details.

    Also, we had a fine time staying in Dorothy's mother's house. We then went to Oxford, stayed over one night, and then to the airport—Thomas took us.

    Would you send a check for £l0 to the Direct Action Committee Against Nuclear War, 344 Seven Sisters Road, London N.4, and put it down on my expense account with you, to be reimbursed later. You might enclose a note that it is a contribution from me.

    I enclose a copy of the Hiroshima Appeal. This appeal was written by the drafting committee of the Fifth World Conference Against A and H Bombs--I was a member of the drafting committee. Mamma gave several talks in Japan. One was to the Association of Women Scientists, and another was at a public meeting, where I spoke too.

    We are going to leave on 8 September for a trip to Oregon, by car—I am to give three talks, as part of the Oregon Centennial celebration. We shall be back about 20 September. We haven't been up to the ranch, but we shall probably stop on the way to Oregon and on the way back.

    Love to you and Julia and Thomas, from

    [Linus Pauling]
