  26 February 1962

  Dear Peter,

  Thanks for your letter and for the clippings. I immediately made use of the clippings, which helped me in writing an article about the trial. I have sent the article to The Nation, which I hope will publish it.

  Last night Ralph Schoenman's father, mother, and sister came over to see us. I gave his mother the clipping from The Daily Mail with the nice picture of Ralph and Lord and Lady Russell. If you have time, you might telephone Ralph and say that his father and mother and sister all seem to be in fine health and good spirits.

  I have sent a check to the ACA.

  Over the weekend I worked on the antiferromagnetism paper. I decided that it was best to begin the discussion with FeF₃, which represents about the simplest form of antiferromagnetism. I got the paper about half written on Sunday, and then noticed that I had described the structure incorrectly. Whereas MoF₃ has a cubic structure, the structure has collapsed in FeF₃. This required only a small amount of rewriting, but then I got tied up in some other work and have decided that it is not possible for me to get the paper off to the Proceedings today, because there are too many things that I must get done before Mama and I take off on our lecture tour for the American Friends Service Committee. I shall have to postpone the job until April.

  I enjoyed being with you and Julia and the children.

  Love from,

  [Linus Pauling]
