  Dear Mom:

  Your coming trip to Africa, Sweden, Norway, England, Germany and Japan certainly sounds interesting. I don't know how you stand all that travelling!

  We shall be gone from here on the 15th of August. We are planning on leaving here June 12th, going straight to Boston where we will spend two days, then on straight to Geneva where we will stay until the end of August. We would very much like to come back via Los Angeles and spend two or three days with the whole family with you. We would be there about August 29th or 30th, and leave September 2nd or so. We have planned this short lay over at the end of the trip so that we can buy a few things in the California stores on our way back. At any rate, you won't be home when we come through on our way over.

  You are absolutely welcome to stay in our house if you would like. A friend of mine, Grover Liese, will be living here in our absence. He is a very nice chap who interned with me at Queen's. He is coming here for the summer to fill in for a radiologist who is going to Europe on vacation. I have no idea what the condition of the house will be on your arrival. In fact, there is some possibility that you might not want to stay here. However, if you do, I would be very happy to arrange with the Powells to pick you up at the airport and chauffeur you around.

  Another possible factor is that I know that John Kelly Jr. is planning on writing Pop to be a principal speaker at a little institute on nuclear disarmament that he is planning for the summer. This may or may not fit in with your plans. I can't help but be a little bit suspicious of John Kelly as I am of all ultra-radicals, but he is certainly a nice young fellow nevertheless, I have been contributing some money to his Sane Nuclear Policy projects here.

  Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing you again where ever it is.

  Much love,

  Linus
