Dear Mr. and Mrs. Perlin:
Since receiving your telephone call and your letter I have thought about the matter of my making a statement about the question of writing my name in as a candidate.
I have not heard anything about this except from you, and I feel that there is no justification for me to make a public statement unless additional evidence reaches me.
I must say that I am troubled to know that the Democratic Party in Los Angeles is not willing to put up and support a good candidate for mayor of the city.
Sincerely yours,
[Linus Pauling]
