  16 July, 1956

  Dear Mamma and Daddy,

  Thank you for sending off the letters and the cheques. I am not sure I shall be admitted, but we shall see.

  I have now been granted permission to reside until the end of September in the United Kingdom, and I think this means we have won. Though they might balk if I suddenly decided to settle in this country, having a wife and son who are British subjects and decided I am not so bad as to require immediate removal from the sacred shores would I expect allow me complete freedom to stay. I think shall not, however.

  I have written to the Transport people and shall send the papers to you. The Porsche should arrive in about five weeks. Thank you for doing this. I shall write to Crellin with some advice the local embassy treasury attaché gave me. Presumably you asked that the value of the car be determined by an official treasury valuer upon the arrival of the car in Los Angeles.

  Thank you for the present for Julia. I have promised her a washing machine which is what she wanted. I also gave her some little ear rings. Her parents have given her nothing as yet, not even a letter. I am a little sad.

  We are thinking of names. The Stowes just named their brat Mark.

  I have written to McCullough and have received his answer. He thinks it should not be too difficult to get in. The deadline is August 1 this year. He states that it will take probably three years to get the degree, though the residence requirement is two, and if this is the case I think I shall not do it. That means that I shall have been a university student for twelve years with nothing to show for it except a lousy Ph.D., and I will not do it. Besides, I doubt I can afford it. I shall write to him and ask him further on this. I can get the degree here in England in two without doing anything except working in Bernals lab doing what Jack Dunitz and Leslie Orgel tell me to, and what I wish to do myself. Hot stuff on the rare earth field. I shall however, continue the application. It seems foolish to spend three more years.

  The alternative is to take papa’s job and to do sufficiently well to make a name for myself in a year or two to be in a position to get a further appointment somewhere. The job offered is not really one in which to make names, but through a friendship with the departments I might be allowed to take some photographs. I do not see how I can spend three years on it. It is just too long. I cannot afford even. I shall have two kids by then, I shall need household goods and junk. Besides, course work is fun, but I want to do some structure work.

  Much love from

  Peter
