Letter from LP to AHP. [Filed under LP Safe: Box #1.018, Folder #18.19]

Sunday 1PM

Dearest love:

Our meetings are over - before noon. Not very interesting. I went to bed early last night, and I've been reading the papers now. I think I'll have lunch and go to the Corcoran before catching the train. I just haven't felt like calling Reuben or Sterling or anyone - too lonesome to visit them without you.

Today is a warmer day - I shan't need my coat when I [on back] go to the Gallery.

I hope that you are all getting along well - especially you and your foot.

The Board was not enthusiastic about my visiting Bragg as a physicist, and prefer a chemist. When I get home I'll write at once to Tiselius [?]. You might be thinking about a second choice.

Much love from

Paddy

Dear Mom,

It's too bad I didn't know Pop was going to stop in Boston. I would have tried to get to the plane to see him.

It is too bad if the Taits are divorced. We have heard nothing, although we got a letter from Alan a short time ago.

Here's some news that ought to please you early in June we expect a grandchild for you, if everything goes well, which it has so far. We feel it's high time things got started since we're getting no younger. Responsibility stares me in the face like a big goblin. But I hope I can rise to the occasion. The problem at present is morning.

We're trying a Hotpoint dishwasher on our heater at 150, so it may be alright at any rate let us know what you think.

Our love to you and the family.

Linus
