Dear Daddy,
If you have forgotten please sent me a 1 June cheque please since I need a little money.
I am trying to decide whether to come home for a bit. I have to pretty soon (decide) so I
can try to get plane seats and a little money. I would like to talk to you about problems and
models and to Ken Trueblood and to Holmes some.
Dorothy has 104 atoms found in B-12; 62 C; 14 N; 14 O; and 15 water molecules
located. There is an uncertainty in two atoms. She is pleased with it.
Linda has not settled yet. I thought it looked very hopeful for a few days but I think she
has sunk back into her old ways except she thinks the world is not very nice. I shall have to get
my courage up and ask her what she is going to do.
In a way I have too much to do to come home, but I would like to talk to people.
Lindley has been around today.
Much love,
Peter
