Correspondence from Karl Germer to Philip Kaplan
West Point, Calif. Box 173
July 30, 1960.
Dear Philip:
I am afraid this brief note will get into your hands when you are away on your vacation. When I received yours, we had just the beginning of a heat wave when it is not encouraging to sit down and write. As a rule we have a few days of heat then it cools off, etc. But this time we have really had it. I think the Stockton paper complained that they had 111° for many days, and above 100 degrees for over three weeks! Quite unprecended [sic] around these parts. I have been setting up my bed under the stars for the last weeks and am now used to it.
I'm sure you have nothing to complain about like this in N.Y., and can only envy you that are so close to New England and enjoy real cool weather there.
Thanks for the news you wrote about Castel [sic] Books, and Mrs. Cabell [James Branch Cabell]. If she write [sic] a book on her husband, she may print that letter, very probably not, however.
Now that the first part of the elections for the nominations are over, may-be we hear about other things happening in the world. At this end there is not much to write about.
Let me close with wishing you a fine vacation to you and your wife, and that she may return from it completely recovered!
Yours
Karl.
