    4 November 1954

    President Lee A. DuBridge

    California Institute of Technology

    Pasadena 4, California

    Dear Lee:

    You may remember that my plan to go to India in January 1954 at the invitation of the Indian Science Congress Association and the Government of India had to be given up, after I had obtained leave of absence from the Institute for this purpose.

    Ava Helen and I propose to go to Stockholm, and to leave Pasadena about 6 December. We have decided that it would be sensible to make use of the travel this far around the world, by continuing, and I am accordingly planning that we go to India and Japan, and way countries, for scientific purposes purely, plus the enjoyment of the travel. I plan that we shall be back in Pasadena late in March. I am accordingly writing to ask you if I could have leave of absence, with pay, during the months from December to March. I have arranged for my teaching to be taken care of, and for Professor Niemann to serve as acting chairman of the Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. Professor Sturdivant will, as usual, take the responsibility for preparing the budget.

    I want to take this opportunity also to express to you and to the Trustees of the California Institute of Technology my deep appreciation of the extraordinarily fine way in which you have conducted the affairs of the Institute. I am convinced that there is no place in the world that is better suited to the prosecution of scientific work. I am now in my thirty-third year of activity in the California Institute of Technology, every year a pleasant one for me, and I am looking forward to similarly pleasant and productive activity for twelve years more, after this one.

    Sincerely yours,

    4 November 1954

    Dearest Mamma and Daddy,

    Linda and I are terribly excited and pleased. We danced about this morning. We and the unit are having a party tonight at Francis Crick's house. Linda just told me she signed our telegraph "Siblings" which I think is funny. She just asked me what it meant. She says siblings = Peter and Linda.

    We want to come. Are we invited? Do I get an evening suit? I shall need one, I hope.

    We are pleased that this has come. We shall see you again which will be wonderful. We are happy to have you as our mamma and daddy and hope we can give you as much joy as you give us.

    We want you to stay here a while. I grant it is dull and wintery but we are gay and bright, more or less. Everybody is very pleased and says nice things and that it was about time and that he is sure everyone approves. It is all very nice.

    I just invited Marta Kaplan, Walt Hamilton, Gary Felsenfeld, and the Lipscombs to this party but they probably will not come.

    I cannot do any serious delicate work. I can measure intensities though.

    Do I need an evening suit with a little white tie? Very nice. I am getting a dark grey flannel suit made. What goes on now?

    I had almost resigned myself to Christmas in this dead city, but we can go away now for a while. Oh Joy.

    Much love,
    Peter
