SPECIAL DELIVERY
January 20, 1942
We have just telephoned with Professor Smith, and you willbe glad to know that she has understood your situation verywell and wants you to know that this new decision has notdisrupted her plans too much.
Youmay leave for Scattergood just as soon as you get per-mission from the District Attorney's Office, and I remindyou to get the pink and white cards from the post officeagain in case you had already filled out the ones I sentyou with the information pertinent to the Wellesley proposi-tion.
Miss Firestone was good enough to call me this morning, andI told her that I would write you today giving you finalinstructions about proceeding to Scattergood on which shehas kindly agreed to cooperate again. We will, of course,send you the additional funds necessary to cover the travelexpenses.
We will appreciate it if Miss Fireston will try to get you acharity rate ticket from Meriden to Chicago , but full- rateshould be paid from Chicago to Iowa City which is the nearestrailroad station to Scattergood, as otherwise it will be dis-agreeable trip from Chicago , and you will arrive at an un-earthly hour at Iowa City . In Iowa City you will be met bysomeone from Scattergood Hostel. There will be an hour or twowait in Chicago and you will, undoubtedly, have to transferfrom one station to another, but you can make arrangements onthe train for this transfer.
Please write me at once when you will leave Meriden and the exacthour at which you arrive in Iowa City , so that we may informScattergood Hostel. There are very few people who will get off atIowa City and there is no question that the Scattergood peoplewill recognize you. When you get off just stay where you are, and
