Dear Parents,
You shall leave soon, I think Daddy seems to indicate you will not come to England,
which is too bad. I do not think I shall go Greece. Expensive, rainy, too short a time. I think I
shall stay here. Shall not go to Germany to visit the von Steins. I do not think I shall go to
Copenhagen.
I have as yet received no official (or unofficial) word as to my future.
As of 1 August 1954, N.F. Mott is Cavendish Professor.
You know, I would like to continue to get the New Yorker, if possible. I like it very
much.
I am in rather poor health, settled down to a cough & cold. I expect it will last until
Spring. Too bad.
I must decide what to work on. I have a tendency toward muscle. I would like to work
on the smallest cyclic peptide we could get to see if we could determine how the helix goes
around a corner. Too early yet for this, I think. No peptides available. I have thought of no
separate problems on myoglobin. So much a matter of chance that anything really definitive
come out.
Got a letter from Linus. He writes pretty often now.
I hope I can see you. It would be very nice.
Much love,
XXXOOOO Peter
