Scope and content
Had hoped to complete the computations referred to in his last letter during his recent visit to Pasadena, but a suitable machine was not available. The machines in Poughkeepsie and Boston will be available for the next two months, and these are the only machines available before the International Astronomical Union symposium in Moscow in August, and which it is important for the western speakers to present new material. FH's next visit to Caltech will not start until the Autumn. The cost estimate of $1,000 was based on an air fare of c. $550 and living costs for 40 days of c. $400.
