  Noon, Saturday Sept. 4

  Dearest love:

  I was surely surprised and happy when I opened the Fanny Farmer box last night and found your Sea Foam! I couldn't resist it, and ate most of the box - it is wonderful! I don't know its protein content, but I think that it may be rather high. And then was I surprised to find another box (which I have not yet opened) in with my pajamas! You are a little rascal, whom I love. Have you opened the box of candy which I left, and are there any good mints in it?

  The country has been beautiful, as it always is; yesterday evening, between Barstow and Needles, there was a wonderful desert sunset over the purple hills. Now we are going through the mountains covered with little pines, just beyond Albuquerque. I have had fun thinking about you, and especially about the difficulties which we had in packing my bag and getting ready yesterday morning. I wish that you were along. One of the ten nights has gone by.

  After having read Time yesterday I thought carefully about our major ward problem yesterday afternoon, and an idea burst into my head which is, I think, very promising; it still looks good to me after I have viewed it from this side and that for twenty hours, and, although only experiment will show its value, there is, I think, some chance that it will revolutionize one branch of ordnance, and perhaps another also (but there is, of course, a bigger chance that it won't come to anything). I believe that you are right in saying that I need to get away from the lab. (preferably with you as

  [page 2]

  as traveling companion) in order to have new ideas: at home my time is not free, since I have always some duty awaiting me, whereas when I get away I feel free to make a broad mental survey of my work, and to ask myself whether some new direction may not be given to it. Now I am thinking about propellants; perhaps later I can think about immunochemistry; and always I have in my mind a pleasant background of happy thoughts about you.

  After breakfast this morning (honey dew and hotcakes) I read Life (Sept. 6) in the lounge car, and was interrupted by Dr Clark, one of Giauque's men who is now a Lt.Col. in ordnance. We talked for a while, and then he went back to study a manual and I began this letter.

  The weather has been fine - hot outside at Barstow and Needles. I haven't been off the train today.

  I love you and our children, sweetheart.

  Your own

  Saturday evening.

  Dearest love:

  The day is going by. I have been going over the ACS program to decide what to do when I am not at explosives meetings, and I have read a copy of Newsweek also. It shocked me that the GOPs should give such an inferior thinker as Kelland an important job, and now his proposed post-war policy again shocks me. He says that there must be no surrender of American sovereignty - that "We will collaborate but we will not amalgamate...But when we have done it...we must remain a sovereign nation....We will become a part of no utopian superstate, no partner in Union Now, no tail wagging at the end of any dog, but a nation, proud, just, generous." He is determined that the next war will be a really big one.

  Is that not an astounding story in Time about the 23 year

  [page 2]

  old American aviator, shot down over Europe, who wandered for five months, knowing no language but English, before he escaped?

  Our train is late. If I have time in Chicago I shall go to see Phoebe.

  I am not getting hungry, and shall soon have dinner. I have eaten no candy today, because I want to save it.

  I love you, darling, and shall be glad to see you again.

  Your own

  Paddy

  P.S. I've wondered why my air mail letter have reached you so slowly on past trips - I saw a man from the train at Las Vegas empty all letters into a bag & take them on the train - perhaps the RR doesn't recognize air mail.

  Sunday, 1 PM

  Dearest love:

  One more night has gone by - eight more to go, before I am back with you. I've been thinking that perhaps I ought to stay in Princeton and supervise trials of my new idea, but I hope that some other way of trying it out can be found - it may not be any good, anyway (no flaws have turned up yet, however). I have not slept too well: the sponge rubber mattresses are a little too hard, I think; but by going to bed at 8 and getting up at 10 I get enough rest.

  The only paper in the club car this morning was the Chicago Sunday Tribune, which is more disgusting than ever, even the funnies being anti-administration propoganda.

  We are now passing through beautiful Illinois cornfields. The train is only about 1 1/2 hours late. I'll try to see Phoebe and telll her how David is getting along.

  Are you putting Liny to good use? You should have him plant some more vegetables, and level off that space under the oak tree and place the rest of the flat rocks. I think that he would like that job.

  It looks warm outside, and is rather warm in the train. I'll transfer to the Union Station and check my bag, and then go out on the I.C., and return, instead of taking my bag and catching the train at Englewood.

  I love you, darling. I wish that the war were over - then we could travel everywhere together.

  Love to the 'tries.

  6 Sept 1943 Pittsburgh [older LP handwriting]

  Monday afternoon

  Dear love:

  I have arrived safely, after a few very hot hours in Chicago, and now a hot (wet) day here. I have attended some meetings and seen Fajans, Dillon, Laershakers, Bill Huricke, and many others. In Chicago I went out to Phoebe's. She and Esther were at a concert. I rested there until they came home - but they had stopped for supper at the club. They fixed me some scrambled eggs and toast and tomatoes.

  I must now go to the dinner of the phys. & inorg. chemists. I am to introduce Pitzer tomorrow.

  Tuesday noon (1030, rather)

  Dearest love:

  Everything is going well - just now the air raid sirens are sounding: I don't know whether this will interfere with my getting down to the meetings on the streetcar. I slept late this morning - yesterday was somewhat tiring, partially because Fajans argued with me for an hour, and another man, Brand (a refugee in Hans Clarke's lab - apparently able), asked my opinion of various matters for a longer time. I have seen a number of people. I sat at the speaker's table , with Pitzer, ABlamb, REGibson, etc. at the dinner last night.

  Tomorrow my meetings on war work begin. Today I shall introduce Pitzer, and then attend the dinner Lamb is giving his associate editors.

  Soon the half - way time will be reached - tomorrow. My bed in this punk little hotel isn't bad; it would be better if you were in it.

  The sirens are now sounding, and the streetcars have started.

  I shall come home on the Chief, and shall get off at Lamanda Park, where I hope to see your sweet face Monday morning. Since the Chief is always late now you should telephone the station.

  I love you, dear sweetheart. Kiss the little children for me.

  Your candy is still holding out, but is now nearly gone. It is perfect.

  Yesterday was sweltering here, but it rained last night and is cooler today.

  Love from

  P. O. Box 2706

  Washington 13, D.C.

  Dear Reuben:

  My wife and I were very interested to hear from you, and we hope that you will write to us again.

  I talked with Dr. Hogness by telephone while in Chicago and saw Pitzer in Pittsburgh, and in this way I learned something about the work that your group is doing. Best wishes for its satisfactory outcome.

  I shall look forward to receiving the final report from you. You will be interested to know that Sir Robert Robinson when he was here said that he had brought an urgent message from the Admiralty to speed up the two hundred submarine-type instruments which they have ordered. I am afraid, however, that the order has not yet reached Dr. Beckman.

  I hope that later on, perhaps at the end of the war, it will be possible for you to spend a year at the Institute on work in pure science, especially along the lines of the study of magnetic properties which we discussed long ago. It has been a great source of satisfaction to me to have you working in our Laboratories.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling

  Talk at Memorial Services for Elizabeth Swingle, September 27, 1943

  Friends - friends of Elizabeth - we have come together today to think about Elizabeth and about the mysteries of life and death.

  Elizabeth was a good girl and a beautiful girl. She was a good girl, whose personality impressed itself on everyone whose life course touched on hers, and she was made beautiful by the way in which her spirit of friendliness and service shined out through her eyes.

  Let me say a few words about Elizabeth's life and work during the past two years. When our program in immunochemistry was begun in the Gates and Crellin Laboratories there was need for a research worker to help with the bacteriological part of the investigations, and Elizabeth, who was Instructor in Bacteriology at the University of Montana, came to Pasadena, newly married to Stanley, to carry on this work. She had learned her science well while studying for the bachelor's degree and the master's degree in bacteriology, and she carried on her work well and faithfully, happy to be helping in the progress of science and most happy to be associated with her husband in her work as well as in her home life. And so her life rolled on along its smooth course during the year - until she saw a way to be of greater service to her friends and coworkers, a way to extend further the influence of her kindly personality. One of the most important posts in the chemical laboratory is that which involves taking care of the great stores of chemicals and apparatus and supplying them to our hundred workers as they are needed for the many researchers and for the instruction of students - Elizabeth saw the opportunity here for being of service to others, and offered to take this responsible position.

  Thus for some time she had the great happiness of seeing the influence of her spirit of friendliness and unselfish service spreading through our scientific community in ever widening circles. Every one of the many people who came every day to her for help was met, not with a merely dutiful response, but with enthusiastic cooperation, with the clear, practical expression of her deep, heart-felt desire to be of use to others; and everyone came away from this contact with her happier and better.

  This strong love of humanity which brought her so many friends was expressed in many ways. Thus during her first year in Pasadena she came almost daily to our house on the hill, to care for the rabbits which were being immunized; and during these visits she made a most intimate friend and great admirer of our boy Crellin, then five years old, who looked forward to each day's conference, and who has ever since numbered his talks with Elizabeth among the greatest experiences of life in this marvelous world.

  My friends, while we are thinking about Elizabeth, about her beautiful, friendly spirit, we may well ask why, why was she taken away from us suddenly, without warning, while going happily about her work. I think that we can find the answer to this question by contemplating the wonders of the world in which we live - the wonderful order which underlies all natural phenomena. No one can study deeply the physical world without experiencing again and again a feeling of amazement, of transcendent exaltation, at the beautiful intricacy of the structures which constitute the physical world and the beautiful order of the laws which determine its course; and this feeling becomes ever stronger as we turn our attention to life, to man himself, and begin to understand, even though dimly, the almost unbelievably complex mechanisms of the physiological processes upon which life depends. Our faith in the future rests upon our faith in these laws of nature. And so we can understand that these laws cannot be broken, but must pursue their inexorable course even when, because of an accidental, unavoidable concatenation of circumstances, this course is such as to take from us our friend Elizabeth early in her life, while her spirit was still growing, her large circle of friends still expanding, her due cycle of life's rich experiences only to the midpoint traversed.

  Our sorrow over her departure from us must be assuaged by the knowledge that during her twenty-nine years of life she brought a great store of happiness to her family, her husband, and her many friends: we are thankful for this, while grieving that her stay with us could not have been longer.
