  Thursday afternoon

  Dearest love:

  I was happy to get your letter when I arrived at Henry's yesterday. If you don't meet me at the train in Oakland I'll wring your neck!

  Henry looks well- much better than last month. He's just been working too hard.

  I felt that I was catching a cold, so after lunch with Henry I took the train to Princeton and, after tea, went to bed at Aydelotte's. (In the little guest room- not the big one we were in.). Then I went to bed again after dinner, had breakfast in bad, had lunch with Veblen and the A's at the Institute, and went back to bad, correcting proof and reading detective stories.

  Frank seems very pleased about my Cambridge degree- he says it will the Oxford people think better of me.

  This isn't a bad cold- I slept moderately

  well, and am only a little shaky.

  The Aydelotte's seem to have another house in Princeton into which they'll move. They've asked us to stay with them when we are here in May. Frank hasn't said anything about the directorship.

  Veblen said the Garrett Birckhoff isn't much good- but perhaps he meant not as good as his father.

  Mrs Clowes sends her love to you. She seemed sorry not to see you again. I got some information about greenhouses- she said 16 x 24' is minimum, better to have a larger one.

  Kramers is here, but is in bed with a cold. He'll be in Pasadena later. I haven't seen anybody else.

  We'll have tea soon, and then take the train for New York, have dinner with Henry and EBW at the Century Club, & then I'll go on to bed.

  Love from your

  Paddy
