Dear Mamma,
I thought I would write and thank you for the wonderful Christmas we had with you, and
for bringing us to California so that we could visit you. It was certainly wonderful to be with
you. I hope you have now recovered and are well again.
We are moved as you know. It is much nicer, but rather far out. Not many people will
come to see us I think. Bookshelves are really all I need, and I expect to get some fairly soon.
Thomas and Julia are well and kicking. We left our double boiler in the toy closet; perhaps we
shall get one here. We live in a nest of Americans and perhaps we can arrange some shopping.
Thank you again.
love from
Peter

Subject: Phenylalanine in the differentiation of neutral crest cells
Professor Campbell has pointed out to me that there is a paper “The Role of Phenylalanine in the Differentiation of Neural Crest Cells,” by Charles E. Wilde, Jr., in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 60, 1015 (1955), that may be of interest to us.
Wilde has carried out tissue culture studies of cells of salamander embryos, in the presence of various substances related to phenylalanine. A number of phenylalanine analogs were found to exert an inhibitory effect on the differentiation of neuroepithelium and somite cells. One inhibitor, orthofluorophenylalanine, was found to be competitive with phenylalanine, in that the inhibition was found to be removed by the presence in the medium of an equimolal amount of phenylalanine. The author concludes that phenylalanine is essential for neural crest differentiations.
