19 June 1955

Dear Daddy and Mamma,

Present plan are to arrive in Los Angeles July 4^th and leave July 28^th I do not have the ticket yet but will advise accurate time where available.

I have received $300 for transportation for which I thank you. I shall apply the $125 which you sent for 1^st August as a loan and request a loan of $325 additional for two months. This would make a total loan of $450, which I shall use as a ticket and which I shall return to you at the end of August.

Will you please keep any mail I receive from the National Science Foundation?

I do not know what Linda is doing. The situation is a bit strange.

Will you make an appointment for me with the dentist for sometime during this period? Nothing wrong; a few chipped teeth. Perhaps x-rays of wisdom teeth.

Much love,

Peter
