  Dearest Mamma,

  If it is convenient, can you please send me the advertised descriptions of some American household consumer goods? I am interested in buying some labour saving devices like a washing machine and a refrigerator and a stove and perhaps a dryer and maybe a vacuum cleaner and I shall try to buy second hand stuff from the American forces here. I am not sure I can do it, but it is probable. Washing machines I have seen advertised in personal column of Forces paper: Bendix-Dialmatic; Maytag, wringertype; Bendix automatic and agitator type; Norge; Kenmore (Sears Sawbuck).

  Refrigerators: Westinghouse 9.2 cf; Coldspot 11 cf Crosley; Shelvedor 9 cf.

  Bendix dryer and Electrolux cleaner.

  I wish I could find a nice place to live. Thomas plays outside a good deal with the little neighbor children who are older than he and take care of him. I really wish to move into town if possible but it is probably impossible.

  We planned to go on a holiday in July and to see the Dunitz's in Zurich for scientific consultation on our way home. They have got a flat for us from their neighbor who are conveniently going away just at the right time which is certainly very nice.

  Love from

  Peter
