Handwritten on another fold-and-mail card\/stationery.<\/p>\r\n
This (like the next note) is postmarked August 15, 1977, but the \u201cFriday night\u201d date at the top suggests that it was written on August 12. It\u2019s framed as an addendum to something previous; I\u2019m guessing that it\u2019s an addendum to the August 10 letter, rather than to the August 15 postcard.<\/p>\r\n
\r\nFriday night<\/p>\r\n
Hi. Forgot two of the most important items:<\/p>\r\n
1) THANKS a bunch for all the goodies you sent - heating pad and chemistry bottles & vials & the dates & raisins, and the toaster. We seem to have wrecked the plug - Peter says it worked fine<\/u> till we got home - but shall look for one at the flea market; they\u2019re easy to find. The heating pad is the joy of my life - we used it 2 or 3 times the first week we got home (a stomach virus bit each of us in turn) and I really enjoy the cover. Most of \u2019em are the sort of hospital color you\u2019re supposed to look at when you get sick - really, it\u2019s what one looks like<\/u>, not at<\/u>. And feels like.<\/p>\r\n
2) Nancy & Guy got married last weekend \u2014 in San Diego, where Guy is working. Came up here for a whirlwind 36-hour honeymoon, then back to a nifty little house across from the famous San Diego Zoo.<\/p>\r\n
Hope you will head south en route to round-the-world.<\/p>\r\n
Love, us.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

- I\u2019m still unclear on when George and Helen went on various big trips; at some point I\u2019ll try to figure out the timeline and update various posts.<\/dd>\r\n<\/dl>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
