Letter from George G. Wright to Dr. Warren C. Lothrop, Office of Scientific Research and Development. Encloses the addendum report on LC 1.

Discusses the results of Pierce's work, which they feel aren't as bad as they seem. Notes that they will try out some similar screeds and asks how many papers they should study.

11 PM, Saturday, April 14, 1945

Dearest wife:

I arrived in Washington at eight this evening; and at 10 I stood, with hundreds of thousands of other people, and saw the body of the President being borne in a solemn procession on the way to its final resting place.

Dr. Gibson brought me in his car from Cumberland - a beautiful three-hour drive through the mountains, green and colorful with spring flowers, and over the Ridge. The beautiful buildings of Washington are especially striking.

I love you.
