  17 February

  Dear Peter,

  You are right. Come when you can and come home! I was persuaded to this secrecy business by the eager beavers here but also I must admit by my liking to really be able to fool the Paddy. You know how I work with the candied walnuts each Christmas! I agree that it would be too much but I didn't think it would be possible either to do it. Too, I want these mutts here not to go around blabbing - people like Betty Tyler who I fear has already given the party away - but thank God soesn't know aobut you kids.

  I'm so happy to think you'll be here. Come as soon as you can. Stay as long as you can. Bring all - you know you are welcome. Crellie coming the 24th but he has written the Paddy that he is being sent to La Jolla around the 1st of March to look at some neurospera work there. I must say the Paddy fell for that! I guess that should satisfy me.

  Love to all. I must write to Linda and Linie - a family reunion - how splendid! What fun! Hugs and kisses to all of you!
