Collection of nine items, including three TLSs from Pauling, two to Oscar Falconi, both dated from 1971. One letter reads, “I thank you for your interesting booklet on Vitamin C.” The third TLS is signed by Pauling and Raxit J. Jariwalla, sent to Father Henri Barlage, and dated April 16, 1992. Letter reads, in part: “We are very pleased by his progress in the promotion of a controlled clinical study of vitamin C in the treatment of AIDS…it is more likely that the future results of this study will be published in a reputable, refereed scientific journal. This in turn would mark an important step in clinical AIDS research using vitamin C and would serve as a reference point in this Institute's advocacy of vitamin C in AIDS research and treatment. Such research would be of great interest for the treatment of AIDS in Africa…This Institute, for its part, promises collaboration and scientific advice to support this project in Zaire.” Also included are two birthday programs; two printed articles; a short TLS signed by Linus Pauling, Jr.; and a program from Pauling’s memorial service. In overall fine condition. RR Auction COA.
