Dearest darling:

Your letter just arrived, and I'll write you, although I hadn't intended to until later. I've been writing out my lecture for tomorrow, since tonight I'll be at the Wolfe's party. Last night I got a book at the library - a volume of the "Zeitschrift für Angewaudte Psychologie" or something like that, and read about the evil results of suppressing your sex life! Today I met Anin on the campus. She has a new pair of glasses. I told her Peter was arrived. She seemed terribly embarrassed, for she always acts funny. I surely do miss you. I'm not getting a thing done - I just walk around and try to work, but can't - I think of you all the time. I haven't even got my letter written inviting lecturers for the June meeting.

come along with me after this. Yesterday a letter came from Doc Rowland - a rambling apologia. What would you think of getting a note from that girl at Illinois & giving it to Doc in place of that $40? Then we'd be freed of that obliga- [new line] tion. I'd like to hear the baby laugh. I'd like to have gone to the playhouse with you. Tomorrow I'll go to Stanford. Thursday I'll come back. Friday night I'll start for you. Would you ask James to meet me at Glendale at 8 ¹⁵ AM (or 8 ²⁰ or thereabouts) Saturday? I'll say "Home, James". ... I just say there's no girl other than you who intrigues my fantasy - but you do, sweetheart. I adore you, little darling wife.

Now I must go to a seminar in chemistry. I hope its fun - but it won't be. The only time I'm happy here without you is when I'm talking! Love to Linus and Jeff.

Your own

Linus
