Saturday 9am
Dearest love:
I adore you. Everyone here asks about you, and wishes you were here.
I couldn't get my Radford pullman reservation, so Corey and I cancelled our trip. I talked with Richards about our transfusion work, and he wanted me to do more talking. So night before last I gave my talk for Sterling's crowd - Paul and Linda came to dinner at the Hendrick's - there were 401 in the audience, which seems to be the Washington record. Then I got up at 6 yesterday morning, came to Phila, and talked to Dr Lockwoodat the Med.Sch. (10 to 12), went to New York and saw Dr Robert Loch ( a fine fellow - Leonard's brother), Michael H., Dochez, and Hans Clarke (2 to 5), and returned to Phila., had dinner with the Rous'es, and heard a talk on Jefferson by Fiske Kimball and some chamber music (Haydn, Mozart) by Swann and three friends. Then to bed, and I'm just now up.
I'll stay till tomorrow and then go to Washington. It isn't much fun being here without you - and its perfectly clear that its you everyone is looking for - they peer under and around me and get so disappointed. I adore you. 8 down and 6 to go.
Your own loving husband
