    Dear Crellie,

    I don't know whether or not I have told you that Mama and I are coming to Seattle on 25 March, probably staying until 29 March. We shall be staying in the Towne Center Motel, 2106 Fifth Avenue. I thought that we should stay there, convenient to the law offices downtown, to save trouble.

    I am to make a deposition in our suit against the Bellingham Publishing Company.

    Much love from

    [Linus Pauling]
