  10 December 1962

  Dear Anita,

  In my letter I did not mention that Mama and I had been in Europe for a few days, just a month ago. We considered the possibility of coming to see you and the children, but I felt that it was necessary for me to get back to Pasadena, because I am so far behind in the job of preparing the third edition of my book College Chemistry, and it is essential that I get it done soon, in order that it be available for use during the next academic year. This book provides a good share of our income, and, moreover, many teachers rely upon it, and need to have it kept up to date.

  We flew from New York to Brussels, arriving 7 November, and we were home early in the morning on 17 November, after visits in Brussels and Oslo. I am a member of the International Solvay Committee, and I attended the Solvay Chemistry Conference. Also, I was given an honorary degree of Docteur de l'Universite by the Universite Libre in Brussels. Our most interesting experience in Brussels was, I think, the luncheon that we had, Mama and I, with the old Queen, Queen Elizabeth, whose grandson is now King of Belgium. She is interested in the peace movement, and she invited us in order to hear about how the peace movement is moving along in the United States - not too well, I am sorry to say.

  In Oslo I spoke in the University about molecular disease and evolution, Mama and I attended a reception given by the Norwegian Women Strike for Peace - we were given a memento by this group - and then, on the evening of Thursday 15 November, Mama and I spoke in the Norwegian Nobel Institute on "Work for Peace in the United States Today." The meeting was sponsored by the Combined Norwegian Peace Groups, representing ten peace organizations - Women Strike for Peace, Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, and others. We also talked with our various friends in Oslo.

  I still do not know whether or not it will be possible for us to make the trip to London in January, but if we can do so, I hope that we shall be able to see you and the children in Geneva.

  Much love from

  [Linus Pauling]
