  13 April 1953

  Dear Parents,

  I am sorry not to write sooner. I have been gone a few days to Paris where it is warm & the trees are in bloom and I could not write or work.

  Thank you Daddy for your letter & the cheques. I shall give Linda the one.

  They are still away, presumably in Spain. I still think this trip is good, though Linda knows anyway what she is doing. I really cannot say anymore until they return, I suppose at the beginning of next week.

  I must work very hard. I met a friend of yours Maria named Steven, a physicist. He folkdanced with you.

  I am still searching a little for a place to live next year.

  A big package has come from Elfriede. It's addressed to Linda. I am glad the book is going so well. I received a letter from the girl I escorted to the Ball at Luciafest in Stockholm and she uses it and seems to pass her exams by reading it.

  I received a letter from Linus and am glad he is still kicking. I was beginning to worry.

  I shall write when Linda returns.

  Much love,

  Peter
