    Mr. Francis Heisler

    Attorney at Law

    P.O. Drawer 3996

    Carmel, California

    Dear Francis:

    Thanks for your letter and the clipping.

    I wish that we could have stayed to see the play, but as it turned out Ava Helen and I needed the few days in Deer Flat Ranch to rest, because we have been kept very busy since getting back to Pasadena. I had a good time working on my new research problem, too, and I have begun to write a paper on the subject.

    The petition to the Supreme Court for a writ seems to me to be worthwhile. The recent published material about Iodine-131 from the underground tests is pertinent here.

    Ava Helen and I are grateful to you both for your kindness in being our hosts.

    Cordially yours,
