Dearest Sweetheart:
I arrived safely, and came to the club, then talked with Zener, who is going to Pasadena tonight. Then I talked a long time with Bill Giaque, asking him to arrange a wild party for me. G.N. said that it wouldn't be too wild if Giaque arranges it. I've only seen him for a minute, at lunch. I've seen Eastman (who has a Guggenhein F. for next year), Olson, Latimer so far. Latimers will have a baby in a few weeks. I'm going to Olson's for dinner tomorrow night. It is fun to be here, but I miss you, darling, and Linus and Jeff. It is nice that you are coming up next year. My room costs $25: it isn't nearly so nice as Jamie's at the Atheneum. I love you bushels, darling girl, and shall write you again.
Linus.

Dearest Sweetheart:
I love you, darling, and am hoping that this two-weeks period will pass rapidly. I hope we won't have to be separated again. We must arrange things so that you can always come with me. did you sleep well? I went to bed early - 8

. I think before on the train I've been too cold. Then this morning I had breakfast on the train, came to the club and took a shower, put on clean clothes and my red necktie, and prepared my lecture. Before the lecture I talked with Lewis a little. The lecture itself was well received. After lunch I talked with Lawrence about getting married. He is worried - he says he thinks that chance is 50-50 that you are less happy after marriage. After talking to me he'll probably be married this spring. Then I talked to Eastman till 2

about where to go in Europe and what to do, and then, to the German Stuart until 4. He is doing

very interesting work. Then I went to Kramers' lecture, and have just come from there. I haven't much news except that the Latimer girl was born Friday at 1, just when he and I were talking about it. Lewis announced that tomorrow at seminar he would say something about the chemical bond. I wonder if I'll have to say something back. Stuart invited me to dinner Wednesday. He is very happy to find someone who likes Germany. He is worried because Americans report unpleasantness about Fran Debye.
I love you, my darling girl, and Linus and little Jeff, and I'll be glad to be with you permanently again. I love seeing you and loving you, and having such good dinners with you - but most of all just being near you. Your own
