Dear Daddy,
Thank you for you letter which I was pleased to receive. I had begun to get worried
about you.
I can only write a little as I must race to catch the mail and get to sleep. This is a special
purpose letter.
MacDougall is the text I used and that must be your copy. Mine is well worn.
I am working rather hard trying to find the absolute measurements. I lose the
spectrometer in five days.
No penguins were sent in December. I shall get on the tail of Heffors. They have not
been sending Science News, nor New Biology nor the Ving Penguins which I asked them to.
Would you like all the past Science News*, about 15 books (30/) and New Biology 9 books (15/)
sent? Do you want the Murder Mysteries?
May I wish you a very happy birthday? I hope the next twenty years bring as much
happiness and excitement as the last twenty.
Much love from
Peter
