Dear Professor Schlesinger:
I wish to thank you for sending me the check from the University of Chicago, and also for arranging for a room with kitchenette at one of the south side hotels in September.
My wife and I reached home safely. My wife found when she got here that Linda had been pretty sick but was improving rapidly, and now she has been brought home from the hospital.
It was a great pleasure to us to have been in Chicago during the past month, and I want to thank you very much for arranging for our visit.
With best regards, I am
Sincerely yours,

Dear Pete,
I am glad you are having a good time up there. Down here I was having a lot of fun, only now that Mom and Dad are home I am rapidly finding out all the things I didn’t do and should have done, and all the things I did do and shouldn’t have done.
I went and got Mom off the train at East Los Angeles early Friday morning. Dad came from San Francisco early Saturday morning.
Linda came home from the hospital on Sunday, feeling quite well.
I became a member of the Vista Swim and Racquet Club, so now every time I get a chance I go down there and swim. I find it most fun at night. Both Linda’s hens are setting, although they don’t have enough eggs under them to suit us, and it is too late to get more.
I hope you continue enjoying yourself until you have to come home.
Love,
Linus (jr.)
