7 July 1960

Dear Linus and Anita,

Mama and I have been required to change our plans. You may know that I have been ordered to appear before the Internal Security Subcommittee of the Senate on 9 August. Mr. Wirin has asked that the hearing be postponed, because of his health - he had been told by his doctor that he should spend a couple of months in Honolulu this summer, recuperating from his heart attack and operation. Probably there will be a postponement, but in any case I have had to take action about plans for the summer, and I have postponed our visits to several countries until perhaps next year.

Now I am writing to ask if it would be all right with you if we arrived in Geneva on Wednesday 27 July, to stay for about a week. Probably we would go to Zurich for a day or so, unless Linda and family happened to come to Geneva. Our schedule calls for us to fly from Europe to New York on Sunday 7 August.

I think that it would be fine for us to have this period with you. I am going to write to Ambassador Wadsworth, to see whether there is the possibility of my talking with him about the negotiations for a bomb-test agreement. I may try and see Ambassador Wright and Ambassador Tsarapkin also.

We are looking forward to seeing your Geneva house, and, of course, to seeing you and the children.

Much love from

[Linus Pauling]

7 July 1960

Dear Linus,

I received a letter from Dr. Felbeck, enclosed. He also sent thirteen stones. I have kept six, and am sending you seven, in case that these are lost in the mail.

Why don't you handle the correspondence with Dr. Felbeck directly?

It seems to me that George is right in saying that the small stones don't show very much star.

Much love from

[Linus Pauling]
