Dear Carleton, 
You have accumulated a pile of mail and I am sending five of the more 
pertinent looking letters along with Ivan. While you have not communicated with 
me on the matter, I have written a check for Ivan's ticket on the understanding 
from Paul Brown that you wanted Ivan to come even if NIH would not pay for it. 
Things have been going reasonably smoothly here, except for the Matias 
problem. Yavine's grades in the first report: English B, Geography C, Science 
C, Mathematics A, Phys Ed B, Music B, Art A. Tamel and Mororui have not had a 
report yet. Jesse is taking Biology, English, International Relations, and 
Japanese. He got the $464 from Micronesia. He is very anxious for news from 
his wife since Mathias brought back word that she was pregnant. Ivan has been 
spending many evenings reading in your library. 
Morris Schaeffer took a job at NIH with FDA. The regulation of biotics or 
something resulting from Tony Morris' activities. While Morris and Josephine 
were looking for a house I invited them to stay here. Mrs. Schaeffer's presence 
in the house during the day helps control Mat's activity here. 
I rarely see Mat because he comes in sometime in the middle of the night 
and leaves after I go to work. He almost never eates with us. I have not 
gotten too upset over him because I have been ignoring him as much as possible. 
I haven't been worrying about the car or anything. I have laid down the law 
that he is not to bring his girl(s) to the house without my permission. He has 
been observing this one rule, but that is about all. Ivan gave up the car soon 
after Mat arrived (Oct. 16) and now Mat uses it. I have not given any money to 
Mat for the car, but do give him $5 a week allowance. 
I also gave Ivan $50 for this trip. 
I am planning to drive the boys to Durham to spend Thanksgiving with the 
Langs. I told Jesse I would pay for his plane ticket so he can be with us too. 
Well, so long for now. I must get up at 6 a.m. and drive Ivan to the 
llmoslne pick-up. 
Sincerely, 
Joe
