The First Western Bank
Colorado-Rosemead Office
Pasadena, California
Attention: Mr. West
Dear Mr. West:
I thank you for protecting my account during the next few days.
On December 10, next Tuesday, I shall be given a check for about fifty thousand dollars by the Nobel Foundation. I shall go to the bank in Oslo and ask about the best way to communicate this check to you. You should receive this money for the Joint account of my wife and me within two or three days after that date.
I think that ten thousand dollars of this sum should be deposited in our checking account, and the remaining sum, approximately forty thousand dollars, in our savings account, which now contains dollars 12,155.59.
I thank you for your courtesy
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling:kpc
