  Dear Mamma,

  I was surprised and pleased to talk with you. I did not know you were around.

  Well about Christmas, what would you like? I can think of a lot of expensive things for us. A sewing machine perhaps. Thomas needs more corduroy trousers like the ones you sent: they do not have a name tag but are 24" around the outside of the pants waist and 28" from top of belt to end of cuff: same size, different colours. Sarah: school. Me: sub to sunset; polished steel wall sconce, 12" x 40", $15, from Munson-Williams. Procter Institute, 310 Genesee St. Utica 4, New York. I would probably have to pay duty but it is not very expensive.

  We shall probably have Christmas here. Julia's parents have moved into a smaller house. Angela is getting us a turkey I think. We are not in our house, but shall be sometime. We have all the permissions needed. It will be a marvelous place. I have been too frightened to get along with it but am doing so now. I have been doing other things too. You can get us some furniture next year (or enable us to get some.)

  Terribly pleased about Pat Brown and Tricky Dick.

  I do not know about next summer. It depends on someone supporting the work. I have applied to USPHS. Very uncertain. I may come anyway, particularly if you would care to invest some of your spare cash in PP's Automatic Scientific Instruments, Inc; a growing concern.

  love,

  Peter

  20 November 1962

  Dear Linus,

  I have been having a form of psychiatric treatment here for several months involving small doses of lysergic acid. This treatment has, I think, had a very great effect. I am very much stronger than I was, more sure of what I want, at ease with people to a much greater degree, more or less in control of my marriage, and so forth. I am capable of handling the parental relationship reasonably well, and am learning to handle that item neither you, I, nor Pa can be rational about: money, though I still have a way to go. I am not through yet, I still have a long way to go but am optimistic. I am still frightened but am hopeful.

  I know this treatment is not in favour in the United States, perhaps for the very reason why it is so valuable: easy and cheap. There is a group in California using it and another in North Carolina I think.

  I should like to ask that you come see us this Christmas. Linda mentioned you were going to Geneva. I think Julia is sufficiently happy and sufficiently unsevere social that you would enjoy her; I should certainly like to see you. If you were to come I should like to get you to see the people I treat with. I think this is a powerful method and you might consider coming here and trying it; learning it as a technique too. I do not know how long it takes to do permanent good; I suppose about a year.

  The leader of the LSD crowd here is a fellow named Ling. He is quite civilized in the sense of enjoying an urban environment. He often tries out the MD's secrecy on me and bulges his eyes when expounding the doctor's platitude but when he thinks about it he is very sensible and very pleasant. He has a private clinic, but is also consultant to a hospital. I am treated under the National Health Service which has two advantages: it is free and I get to meet another fellow named Buckman who is more scientific.

  Our house is going slowly, I think primarily because I have been frightened to get going and spend money. It is crazy because I have the money. It is going, however, and will be very nice. I have designed a sensible (I think) and aesthetic alteration. I hope you will come see it, both before and after. I regret it is not ready yet for you to stay in. You can give me some ideas on what to do and perhaps do them. I bought a number of tools (there is a much better selection of certain types of tools here than in the US, though that is not much consolation).

  I have just completed the design of an automatic gadget built out of plug-in logical blocks. It was quite fun and quite a lot of work. Valuable gadget though.

  I hope you can come see us. There are many things to talk about.
