  22 March 1960

  Dear Daddy,

  Thank you for your letter which arrived yesterday.

  Thank you for your offer to buy me a gown and to wear it at the Royal Society do. Unfortunately the only gown I am authorised to wear is a Ph.D. gown which is a sort of claret affair and I think the only gown you are authorised to wear from this university is a DSc gown which is a scarlet thing. Since I do not really need a gown I suggest you hire or borrow a gown when you get here. That will not be difficult and you only need it for the official reception. I am not sure you need it then.

  We are more or less well. My infections of sinuses and upper respiratory tract are slowly getting better. My sinuses were washed out last week: not very pleasant.

  For Mama: I shall continue my bargaining for a house in Cambridge. If we have the Crickery it will come complete with French girl and Linda may well have an extra girl.

  I think we shall be here all the time. I wish to go to Glasgow for JM Robertson's computer conference the week before the Cambridge do.

  Term is just ending which will make things a little easier.

  Sarah has begun to smile, and to sleep all night. She still has a cold unfortunately. I made a mistake to tell Thomas that you were coming because he now asks every day whether you are coming.

  Ask Mamma please to bring some socks for Thomas please? American socks are much better than English.

  Much love from

  Peter
