Dear Parents and Siblings,
I arrived here yesterday after a rather hectic week. We left Friday night and drove
twenty-four hours a day through New Orleans to Washington D.C. We stayed with the
Condon's, since the Robertson's had gone for a walk when we arrived, I called Loyd and Sylvia
and talked a bit. Wednesday I rode the train to New York. Grundfest welcomed me and the
Minsky's are in Europe. I stayed for three nights with Mrs. Stowe. I went to New York
everyday and saw Henry Allen Moe and Rose Sherman. I bought some clothes. Grundfest is a
nice guy, Nachmansohn is a German, and I do not know him very well. I am working on ion
movement in nerves using tracers, Na+ and K+. Squid nerves are used, the giant axon, but the
squid are not available right now. Woods Hole is foggy tonight, as it was last night, and it rained
today. I hear the weather has not been wonderful but a little dull so far.
The food is good and also plentiful. As much as you want for $14 weekly. The room is
smaller than our bedrooms, has three bunk beds (for six occupants) but we have only four right
now.
I am sorry, Daddy, that I mashed up your car.
Irving Klotz will give three lectures on proteins this week.
Much love,
Peter
