  Professor Dorothy Hodgkin

  94 Woodstock Road

  Oxford, ENGLAND

  Dear Dorothy,

  Helen and I are happy to have received your letter. Give our love to Thomas.

  I still don't know how my court action is going to turn out. I have been to Washington twice in the last two weeks, once when my suits were heard by the judge of the District Court and once for the three judges of the Court of Appeals. The Court of Appeals has not yet announced its decision. Perhaps next week the case will come to the Supreme Court.

  I am not worried very much, but I am troubled by the fact that my life has been largely upset by this affair.

  I doubt that there is anything worth while for you to do. I think that letters by Americans to their Senators probably are effective.

  Ava Helen and I were able to stay at the ranch for one week. We are hoping now to be able to spend another week there during the second half of this month.

  Are you and Thomas planning to visit Pasadena when you come to Canada?

  Love from

  [Linus Pauling]
