16 August 1952

Dear Parents,

Willie Crellin and I are on our way home after a wonderful visit in Hawaii. We are very sorry to leave, but I am supposed to get some work done this summer. No ink on this tub.

I presume you told Kendrew I had decided not to get married. I had neglected to inform him. Fine, I expect to have a grand time. I guess I have to work too.

I shall give a short list of my financial obligations:

Due Aug 17 to Cunard White Star $110

Estimate of train and baggage fair 150

Owed Alex Rich for eastern trip 12

" H.P. Robertson " " " 20

Stock of colour film for Europe ~36

I would like to spend for records $100

GE pickup, diamond needle and tone arm $46

Food for 30 days (Aug 16→ Sept 16)

for Crellin and me._________________________45

I shan't total it. Scared.

Linda knows where the $62 dollars went. I paid $13.25 for my watch, $5.00 for some photographs, $1.20 for color film and a little more.

Additional: owed to Linus and Anita $12 I am sorry, but I and Crellin only have $6.32 and I owe money. Maybe Cunard will cancel my reservation when I don't pay. You must come to Hawii sometime again in the next two years. It is grand.

[Crellin begins writing here]

It is a shame to leave Oahu. We brought pineapple, etc, but they wouldn't let us bring them home, We had a wonderful time. You would love the place. Thousands of Hibiscus, etc. Pete and I drove around the Island yesterday. Picked pineapple sugar. Saw sugar being harvested.

Love,

Crellin

I hope I see you before I go.

Much love,

Peter
