Dear Peter:
The letters that you mailed to Portland have been forwarded to us here, and have arrived just after my last letter to you had been sent.
I shall take your advice about sending my congratula-tions to Max Perutz.
The suggestion that you make that Linda might get a job in Cambridge, which would keep her busy part of the time and give her some training, seems to me to be a good one. Probably she could do some worth while studying at the same time.
I enclose a check for $425 for you, representing the reimbursement for your trip, and the monthly sum for 1 April.
On Friday I spoke at a conference of private secondary school teachers in the Biltmore Hotel. Mr, Hamilton spoke to me, sending his regards to you.
Mama and I have just been looking at the Kodachrome of you and the Wilmotts. It is a fine picture of you.
Love from
