  4 November 1963

  Mr. Roger Hayward

  920 Linda Vista

  Pasadena, California

  Dear Roger:

  I enclose my check for four hundred thousand dollars to supplement the check for six hundred from the California Institute of Technology.

  My lecture in Washington was only partially successful. The projector was one with a big carbon arc, and no filter between it and the slides, (or so I was told by someone who went to the projection room). The result was that the slides began to burn a few seconds after appearing on the screen. I do not know what sort of an impression the auditors got – they might have been paying more attention to the burning of the slides then to what I was saying.

  I am grateful to you for your help in preparing for this lecture.

  I am going to try and find some way of using the drawings, such that you and I may get a payment that we can split between us. The National Academy of Sciences provided a sum of money that did not equal the traveling expenses to Washington and hotel bill.

  Sincerely,

  Linus Pauling:kpc
