Here are the addresses where your father and mother may he reached:

Until 25 April - Dana-Palmer House, 14 Quincy Street, Cambridge, Mass. They will go to Mt. Holyoke College probably on 22 April for the weekend, but will return to Cambridge on Sunday or early Monday. They leave Cambridge on the night train on 25 April.

1-3 May - University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico c/o Chancellor Jaimae Benitez

They leave Puerto Rico the night of 3 May and expect to return to Pasadena on 9 May, although there is a possibility that they will stop in Houston on 9 May and get back here on 10 May.

I am sorry you didn't stop in to say hello when you were down during vacation - hope you will next time.

If there is anything further I can do, be sure to write.

Sincerely,

[Beatrice Wulf]

Letter from Dr. Sydney Brenner, Physiology Dept., Medical School, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa, to LP RE: Discusses arrangements for LP's possible visit to Witwatersrand. Arrangements would also be made for LP to visit the National Physical and Chemical Laboratories, other universities, and several chemical industries. Brenner's work on the incorporation of analogs into proteins is underway. Planning to conduct immuno-chemical research using amino acids as haptens. The purpose would be to use antibodies as model systems to determine how a distinction is made between valine and isoleucine. A handwritten note from Brenner at the end says that an industrial chemical company has offered to arrange a trip for LP to the Kruger National Park Game Reserve as a relaxation from work.

Letter from Professor W. A. Wooster, Dept. of Mineralogy and Petrology, University of Cambridge, to LP RE: S. C. Prasad, a lecturer from the Physics Dept., Bihar University, India, has been working with Wooster for the past three years. Prasad has been studying the elastic properties of metals using diffuse x-ray reflections. He will submit a thesis for the Ph.D. degree before July 1955. Prasad would like to work in the U.S. before returning to India; Wooster wonders if Caltech has a place for him. Prasad has a wife and a baby; he must find a grant soon.
