“I appreciate the Nobel Peace Prize more highly than the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, because the Nobel Peace Prize represents recognition of my having done a good job because of a sense of duty to my fellow men”

TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, Stanford University letterhead, February 2, 1971. In a response to an inquiring fan, Pauling writes, in full: “I thank you for your congratulations on my birthday, 28 February. In answer to your question, I may say that I have on several occasions said that I appreciate the Nobel Peace Prize more highly than the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, because the Nobel Peace Prize represents recognition of my having done a good job because of a sense of duty to my fellow men, whereas the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was given me for doing work that I really enjoyed doing. For the answer to your last question, you must read my book.” In fine condition, with a faint paperclip impression at the top right edge. RRAuction COA.
