  10 November, 1957

  Dear Mamma,

  Thank you for your letter, which we were pleased to get. Bernal did bring the toy for Thomas, thank you; I thought I had written to you about it. He loves it, and chews it dreadfully. Anita Rimmel, Bernal’s secretary whom you will remember, was very interested in it. She is a remarkable person. Bernal has gone to Moscow for a few days. I have seen him quite often recently.

  Thank you very much about the vaccine. I know you have a great deal to do, and I shall try to keep my requests to a minimum. Vernon Ingram will be along in a few days.

  I want a washing machine for Christmas, but I think shall have to wait for a year. We are actually trying the wet wash service of the laundry, which is quite cheap and convenient. I want a good selection of hot cereals. I can get Cream of Wheat and Wheatena at the Ship’s Store, that is some one else can get it. I have not asked anyone to get some for me. Sid gave his card and some money (that is what the ten dollars is for) and I went in once, but they were suspicious and it won’t work again. I bought cake flour and those cereals. It is terrible that I only like hot cereal for breakfast, or, of course, crepes, pancakes, waffles, etc.

  I finally bought a typewriter. It is the same as Linda’s, though it costs less here retail than wholesale there. It is quite good, though I shall take it back to be adjusted.

  We all have a cold, and I think it will last the winter. The central heating is not on, and now it is very cold. I have rigged up a lot of electrical heating to last for a while.

  I have been doing a lot of work, trying to get many pictures taken at Birkbeck. There is even more to do. I am very pleased with this series of compounds that I wrote to Daddy about. Tell him that the ferrous complex has been made and is isomorphous with the others. I do not know whether to do more work with them, or to stop here.

  I think we can all gather in 1958. I do not know where we shall be. I am trying to find out how the protein work in Pasadena is going but they are a terrible secretive lot there.

  Thomas can say Grandma in Russian and in Japanese, but has not yet learned it in English. I expect him to master it soon. He has eight teeth, and cannot quite walk independently.

  Please excuse my writing with a typewriter; now that I have it I want to use it. I am faster with it than long hand.

  Love from

  Peter
