    Mrs. Richard E. Braach

    McHenry Valley Road

    Almond, New York

    Dear Mrs. Braach:

    I am grateful to you for writing to me. I can assure you that I know the Bible quite well. I do not believe, however, that I have an immortal soul, as you have suggested in your letter. I think that if there is anything of value about me, it is my actions, here on this earth. With the support and encouragement of my wife, I am attempting to decrease the amount of suffering in the world. One way in which I am working is illustrated by my book No More War!, described on the accompanying sheet. You probably can get a copy of the book from your local library. Perhaps reading it would help you to get started out on the great spiritual adventure, that of working to benefit humanity and to prevent war.

    Sincerely yours,

    Dictated by Professor Pauling. Signed in his absence:jh
