  Prof. Charles Coryell

  Massachusetts Institute of Technology

  Cambridge 39, Massachusetts

  Dear Charles:

  It surely was fine to receive the wonderful telegram from you. Also, I think that I have you to thank for suggesting, perhaps stimulating, all of your colleagues to send me a joint telegram of congratulation.

  I want to take this opportunity to tell you how much I appreciated your collaboration during the vigorous years of effort that we put in together two decades ago.

  I was pleased to receive notice last week that the passport is being issued - it has now arrived, and is good for all of the ordinary countries. We are hence continuing on from Stockholm to Israel, India, and other countries.

  With best regards, I am

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:W
