Dear Lucy, Crellie, Cheryl, Kirsten, and Little Crellie:

I was happy to receive your cards, extending congratulations to me on my birthday, and especially happy too to have the beautiful shirt that you made for me. I have not yet worn it, but I am planning to put it on tomorrow, when Mama and I start for the ranch, to stay for a week. I shall think about you often when I am wearing the shirt.

Mama got along pretty well on our tour for the American Friends Service Committee. She seems to be just about back to normal now.

Much love from

Dear Robert:

I write to congratulate you on the Fermi Award, which you are receiving half a dozen years later than deserved.

I trust that everything is going along well with you. Please give my regards to Kitty.

I have been asked by the officers of the Southern California Civil Liberties Union to extend an invitation to you. The Annual Bill of Rights Dinner of this chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union will be held on the evening of Friday 6 December 1963. This is the largest chapter of ACLU in the country, with some 7,000 members. It is probably the most active chapter in the country. It is expected that as many as 1,500 people might attend the dinner, if you were to be the speaker. Is there a possibility that you could accept this invitation?

I know that you have for a long time been interested in and associated with the American Civil Liberties Union, and I hope that you will find it possible to accept the invitation. The Union will of course pay your expenses, in case that you are able to make the trip to Los Angeles.

With best regards, I am

Sincerely yours,

Linus Pauling:lh
