Dear Mamma,
I am sorry that Jeff has broken his leg and hope he recovers.
If you want this amplifier or at least the control preamplifier you must tell me. They cost
$60 each. You can get an amplifier for $90 or so there, that is louder.
If you should want to give me a Christmas present you might get me another pair of those
army shoes, size 10 E, or F if you can get them but you cannot so E. You get them in the army
surplus store on Fair Oaks, block north of Colorado, on the West side of the street. Do not go
in the remainders or lost luggage store which is a but further north. The shoes are in the back on
the right. $7.00. Thank you.
Linda seems to be doing better. I think there is no harm in her being around for a while
longer. I am glad to have her. I am living in a very small room in Newnham villge. It is not
luxurious but I only sleep there. I lived for a while in a very nice house in Linton, about 12
miles from Cambridge.
I have written Paul Condon. Phil Ulrey is stationed in East Anglia and should come
along sometime. I have been to see the Dirac's. Hungarians are crazy.
love,
Peter
