you might, not only do we want to see you but we want you to meet a very interesting and charming person of our generation and way of thinking who is staying w/ us just now - Minerva Rautenstrauch, widow of one of the outstanding men at Columbia University, whose lectures were so popular they had to be given in the auditorium - no classroom large enough! Seconds, to thank you most warmly for the basket of beautiful oranges and grapefruits, Bertie is allergic alas, to most
citrus fruits but
navel oranges are mild and so I am kind of saving them for her - except as to a dozen of the biggest which we sent to dear Mrs. Stern, in Washington - you met her here. Mrs. R - (vide supra) is passionately devoted to grapefruit - as for me I devour all citrus fruits. Do write us that (and when) you are coming. Our love to you, Yrs, Fred Blossom [on side] Many of "our" folk affix the NATO stamps upside down - you can guess why.
