My dear Mrs. Denison,

The towel3 cnme before your lottor Tnd I said to

myself, how did I5rs* Deninon ever find such linen ?s th?,t these days:

I kno:? th%t there is none like ih to Fe hn,d in Bnltimore-  Then the

card cxnlcy.ined*   1 shal! surc;?y enjoy them-  They mrskr? it a joy to

dash dishes.  The first little breaks ?re Just beginin,? to cop7e in

dsya.

This is Sund2,y 3rd RS I drove over T kept thinkin,o: how fine

it is to have Susan B.   She's R. re%l :oy, doesn't :rind n cold mornig

a bit.   And she i:: 3 re?,l help in my work.   Thinks h%vs gone Fetter

than I dreamed this f'qll~  Ye hsvC Tao nice thinp pr?,ctia?lly done.

One of them is the first of 01~~ real. p!~ysiolo~':icm1. studies on blood.

discoverel? I.-iot year is the stivulus for producing or rn,ther for

calling out  the new blood cells from the m?;rrow.  Ye hn,ve aho~:~ers

of these cells in the c.irculatin,, (7 Flood ?,fter t:rq.nsfusion \uhich

occur jilst before the numbers of new cells shoot up.  This is the

kind of v~ork that must underlie the stud;? of leukemia.   Then I

Hebrew Hospital litrhore one of our p,??du.n,tes is director*   I reversed

their din,ynosis and lzl.ve made some Vera interezti.ng oFserv7&ionn on

5hc cqse.  The whole t1~i.n~~ opens up so m*mp things to do thq?t I feel

Lhrilled all the time.   Three of us are 8or':in,y together, Dr.
Cunningham, Dr. Doan and I.  The exwri-Tents w-e so cog,nlex that it
