[This letter is one of a series from a trip the LP took. The date is based off the postmark date of one of the letters (9/10/45). That envelope was sent from New York in the later half of the trip. The rest of the letters are dated based on the location LP was at in relation to the NY postmark. There is also a letter from AHP during that time with the date 9/3/45]

[This was one of three letters in the envelope with the postmark 9/10/45 in NY, NY]

Sunday night

Dearest love:

Tomorrow I'll start home! I'm glad. I haven't done mush today- I've been in my room mostly- the Mirsky's are away (Miss Sabin told me) and I thought That Liny might come or phone.

Recently Waldemar Kaempffert and Warren Weaver have been arguing in the N.Y. Times about proper support of research- K. wants anything efficient & organized. I have just written a 10-page statement in rebuttal of K.'s last letter, in today's Times. If I see Warren tomorrow I'll show it to him.

After breakfast this morning I took the Fifth Ave. Bus to Washington Square, and walked down Thompson St, the Italian region. It was a sight!- They have just welcomed the soldiers home, which made the refuse more varied than usual (confetti with the papers & garbage & junk). Then I came to the hotel for 3 hours, and then (3 to 6) went to the Museum of Modern Art and a newsreel theater- I've been in my room since then.

I love you, darling

Your Paddy
