light literature we have lying about (stories of crime and magazines) with us. Perhaps he doesn't like anybody but "The Saint", but Ellery Queen & [[strikethrough]] Carr [[/strikethrough]] John Dickinson Carr are pretty good also.

Is it possible to get an illness retirement? I suggest this since a very young man in the State Dept (my office) did that because of polio crippling. I'm sure Dad wouldn't mind retiring, & this might be a good excuse for an early retirement.

We are very busy preparing for finals. Jack has 3 finals in 2 days, & tough ones. (he just learned that, instead of a take-home exam in one subject he hasn't paid much attention to there will be a take-home exam plus a final), all in the first 2 days of the exam period (unless one is shifted to the last day). My exams are better spaced but I still dread the physics much.

Have hung one of the Chinese bird prints & it looks very well in the living room. 

With most love,
