New York

July 1965

I have been so busy in New York we haven’t done anything very exciting. We had lunch today with the Lindsey family. You will remember Karen from seeing her in Burma. I hope you are still having a great time.

Love, Bill

United Nations at Night. The remarkable setting of the buildings of the United Nations with the East River on the East and skyline of New York in having established within there boundaries the representatives of the world, sitting in peaceful conclave guiding the world through political, economic, and social problems.

I’m sorry I haven’t written sooner but it is taking me a while to adjust to life here. And yet it is still moving by so quickly. I have also been drinking coffee, but not every day. I am working on writing my proposal for research right now. I think that I can enjoy being here. My research is going to be all inside, which I knew but it is still hard! And yet the project is very worth doing. NY so far reminds me of Minnesota, except with more hills.

Much love, Allie
