Very enjoyable reading. Thanks for posting.
 
LOL, from the letters:
We have every Wednesday a seminar at which somebody talks about some item of research, and from time to time this is made a joint seminar with Rochester University. I am being taken in Feynman’s car, which will be great fun if we survive.
:biggrin:
 
Possibly interesting...
