Dear Henry:

It's been a long time since I've heard from you, so even though I'm ahead
of you by two postcards, I am mking this last attempt to get in tough with
you. You must be out of the USUS by now (as I am on inactive list, Ens. USNR)
unless it is a better rack& than I thought. I'm up here at Yale now on
& Medical Xesearch fellowship, on leave of absence from Medical °chool,
working on the genetics of bacteria. But I'l) tellg you more avout their
sex life when you reply to this letter, Also I'd like to visit Boston some~
time thissummer or Fall, and I thought you might be in that neighborhood,
Also, it would be fun to say hello again, so let me know where you be.

Till then, as ever,

Platt”
