Friday 6 PM

Dearest love:

Today another letter came from you - a nice one, telling about the little Mexican girl, and Liny's raise (that's fine!), and Eddie's visit to the Crellins', and Mrs Cox'es dancing, and Dr McM and your eyes. I'm glad they have turned out so well - they're the most beauti- (a drawing of two eyes with eyebrows) ful eyes in the world. I adore you, darling girl.

Today I didn't go to work, but slept late and then after noon visited the Mellon [?] Institute, just across the street, where I looked up some things in the library, talked for a while with the Director (Dr Weidlein, who kept telling me what "Don" had told him - Donald Nelson), and then made a tour with an As'st Dir., Dr Cretchler, who used to be (1916) with Levene at Rock Inst, and who wants me to talk with Dr Maclachlon [?], head of the Pittsb. Hospital, an authority on pneumonia, about our artificial antisera [?].

James is horrified that the standard

local abbreviation for Pittsburgh is Pgh.

Today I moved from room 352, which was noisy & had only a shower, to 710, which is quieter, has a tub, has a double bed (which I hope will come into full use before too long), is bigger and generally nicer, and costs a dollar more. I think that Holmes [?] will move up here too, onto the same floor.

After supper we are going to make a brief visit with the Frank Longs (Cornell - you remember Mrs L - sister, isn't she, of Mrs Coryell?). Long is one of Kisty's lieutenants here.

When you buy your ticket it might as well be round trip to NY, via PGH and Wn. Santa Fe to Chicago, Penna RR beyond there, Union Pacific from Chi. to SF to Pasadena. I think that saves a few dollars.

Are things shaping up so that you'll soon be able to help me with this double bed?

I love you, darling girl. Don't be lonesome. Buy yourself some nice fall clothes.

Your own
