  17 March, 1958

  Dear Daddy,

  The water works are coming along well and I hope to have them finished by the end of the week.

  I have accepted Professor Ingold's offer of a position on his staff. We shall have to do something about housing. We shall no longer be able to afford this flat, and it is really no longer suitable since Thomas is rapidly reaching that stage where he must be allowed to run about.

  May I suggest that you offer a research fellowship for the coming academic year to Dr. David W. Green of the Davy Faraday Research Laboratory, The Royal Institution, 21, Albemarle St., London W. 1 ? He is Bragg's senior protein man now, a contemporary research of mine as Max Perutz's research student. He has been doing the work on Ox hemoglobin. I think he is fully competent, at proteins, at metal substitution, at crystallography, and is a whizz at making Fourier programs for electronic computers. He has crystallized the orthorhombic form of lysozyme and kept a postdoctoral man busy doing crystallographic work with it. He made me a program to do my cubic Patterson and will make me another in a few days to do the P2,3 Fourier. He may have accepted something with Alex Rich at MIT, which I think is a mistake. Consequently, if you need some people, I suggest you write him quickly.

  Dr. Ian Bush, whom you have met in Pasadena, may write to you. He is a physiologist, biochemist and medical man with a position at Oxford. His wife does not wish to come to America. He has been offered a number of jobs, at UCLA, Rochester, etc. He wants to learn rigorous chemistry.

  We are pleased that you are coming and look forward to seeing you. I must be in Glascow on August 29th. Are you going to Vienna?

  Love from

  Peter
