    Mr. Robert Taber

    799 Broadway

    New York 3, New York

    Dear Mr. Taber:

    I am pleased to accept the invitation to be a sponsor of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee. I think that it is very important that information about Cuba be made available to the American people, and I have been especially interested in your writings.

    I have told Mr. Roberts that my wife and I look forward to learning more about Cuba, but that our plans are uncertain, so far as the next few months go. At the present time I am planning a series of trips about the United States, in which I give public addresses about the need for peace in the world. This activity involves so much uncertainty about my detailed plans for the coming months that I must be careful about making commitments now.

    Sincerely yours,

    Dictated by Linus Pauling
