FOR MAMMA

Sunday noon

Dearest Mamma:

The trip has gone well so far except that I have been lonesome for you- even lonesomer than usual for the first night I started, because of being lonely, to count up the number of nights remaining, and it didn't help me much to say that after that one was ended there would be only thirteen more. Now there will only be twelve more.

Von Kariman[?] and Pipo are on the train. They are going among other places to the Phil. Soc. Meeting but I am not, especially since I got a telegram this morning saying that my reservation is waiting in Chicago for my trip to Radford Va., I talked for a long time yesterday afternoon to Kariman [?] and to Ripor [?], and they took me to dinner - I had an omelet.

I had a drink with K. too, but I've decided not to drink any more on this trip, because this morning my fingers seemed swollen.

V.K. and I talked about Born + Summerfeld (also Erust) and Debye and others, and Pipo + I about Guetz[?] and Wawra[?] (young + old) etc. V.K. can't understand Millikan's' keeping Borsoole around. Pipo says that young Mrs. Wawra's is partially responsible for Warre [?] - she seems to be at odds with bothe of Wawra's parents.

V.K. is down on Boru[?]- he says he is a Nazi at hear, but is kept out by being a jes.

I expect to see Warren this afternoon and perhaps Phoebe. My train to Pgl. [?] leaves at 8.

I wish that you were along. After the war we'll go together every spring to the Phil Soc + Net Ac meetings - perhaps sometimes also to the ACS. I love you.

Your own, Linus.
