11 May, Oslo

Dear Peter,

Our conference is over and we have had a few days seeing academic friends (that looks funny but you know what I mean!) We leave today for New York - a big Carnegie Hall meeting tomorrow and we'll go on to Pasadena Sunday or Monday.

We are exhausted but fairly content with the results of the conference. They are just this moment taking down the big flag poles in front of the Storting where the NATO was held - NATO flags. The 50 star USA flag did, I must say, look beautiful waving in the spring winds. All the flags looked fine. I see why there must be a flag.

It seems odd not to be coming to see you and Julia and Thomas and Sarah, whom we should like so much to see. Bad planning on our part. We are not going to Geneva either.

Love to you

Mama
