  Mr. Ralph Schoenman, Director

  Bertrand Russell Peace Foundation

  3 & 4 Shavers Place

  Haymarket

  London SW 1, England

  Dear Ralph:

  Thanks for your letter of 15 October.

  I think that you should be careful about quoting from people such as Mary Weik. Presumably that sentence should be qualified by saying that it refers to one city (Alberta) - - this is a surmise on my part. In any case I do not think that it can be true even for one city. I don’t think that Dr. Arthur Evans is a reliable source of information about nerve gas bombs – I don’t know where he would have got his information.

  It seems to me to be important that the Bertrand Russell Peace Foundation should not make statements that cannot be supported.

  With best regards, I am,

  Sincerely yours,

  mjh

• Letter from LP to Peter Pauling. [Filed under LP Biographical: Personal and Family: Box #5.044, Folder #44.6]

  November 17, 1964

  Dr. Peter Pauling

  Chemistry Department

  University College London

  Gower Street WCI

  London, England

  Dear Peter:

  I was glad to see your letter, on returning from Australia.

  I hope that your house goes along well, now that you have got started again.

  You can cash the check that I sent whenever you want to.

  Did I ask you, when I saw you, about my first research book? I have not been able to find it for a couple of years, and my last memory of it is showing it to you. It is the one containing the notes on my preparation of crystals of telluric acid. I don't think that I lent it to you, but there is the possibility that I did, and then forgot about it.

  Mama and I had a fine time in Australia, but we had to give many lectures, and are rather tired. I am setting out tomorrow, after one day at home, on a short lecture tour in the Eastern United States, but after Thanksgiving I hope to be able to rest for a long time.

  Much love,

  From Daddy

  Linus Pauling

• Letter from W.H. Ferry to Professor Jospeh Dobretsberger, International Institute for Peace, RE: Thanks him for his willingness to provide travel expenses for one US participant in his forthcoming meeting. Tells him that he has discussed his invitation with Mr. Dave Dellinger, editor of Liberation, and there is a good possibility that he may be able to be with Dobretsberger in December, so he is passing all of their correspondence on to Dellinger. Notes that he is also showing all of this correspondence to LP.
