THE INSTITUTE FOR ADVANCED STUDY
PRINCETON, NEW JERSEY
OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR
28 February 1955
Dear Miss Evans:
We have sent you today, by registered mail, two
packages. One contains the seven tapes of the March, 1954
session, and the other has the originals and carbons of the
transcript of that session. The second package also has one
batch of the missing carbons from the session of December,
1953--Reel 1, track 1. The other missing ones--Reel 1, track
2 and pages 1-12 of Reel 2, track 1--have not showed up, and
it seems almost certain that they must have been thrown out
with the trash from the Oppenheimer's house.
This, at long last, clears up our transcribing job,
and leaves us with no tapes, and no transcripts.
Dr. Oppenheimer has today written to Mr. Acheson,
and you will probably get that letter in the same mail.
With best greetings,
S.
TRUMAN
