    Dear Mamma,

    I hope your plans for us all to be at Daddy's party come off because I want to come. I like coming to the United States, particularly when I am feeling blue. I also want to find out what is going on scientifically. I have asked the bosses and they are willing to let me off for a while.

    A present for Pa; how about one of those relief maps such as you gave me? The map of the United States is nice but the colouring is not so pleasing. It is too red. You can see them all in the Geology building that is further to the west on the 1st or 2nd floor. The place is Aero Service Corporation, Philadelphia 20, Pennsylvania.

    Calif: 41" x 47" high, scale 1"=16 mi. $45.00 FOB Phily.

    World: 61" x 42", scale 1"=434 miles $47.50

    US: 64"x40", scale 1"=50 miles, $47.50

    I like the California one for Pa, but you know his likes better than I. I am writing to them to ask them to send you a catalogue.

    love from

    Peter
