Madras, India, Dec. 3rd, '25.Dear Miss Turner,
A mad scratch before the mail goes to say that I've changed my plans at this end & shall be able to join you in Stockholm if you are still going! I'm going to stay two months later in order to finish off the second Tamil exam. I've been working at it steadily, you know, & it seems a crime to drop it for 18 months & then have to do it all over again for the exam when I come back. The exam is given at the beginning of June. I'll sail about the middle of the month & reach England about the middle of July. Couldn't you come a little early & go to Denmark with me & see Krogh & his establishment? I don't think I should delay after the physiology congress for my family's sake but there will be that time before it. I have promised to make a visit to Edinburgh but I should not stay more than a week at the most if you would come earlier. Do let me know your movements.
Miss Comstock's letter & your message from Miss Smith came this week & got me all excited. Of course she says she cannot give "absolute assurance" but her letter certainly did sound encouraging. I suppose I had better go ahead & apply for a Holyoke one, too, & trust to you to straighten things out. It's a pity the two committees meet simultaneously, because I should want the Holyoke one only in case I didn't get the Radcliffe one. Can you manage that over there? Correspondence about it is impossible at this distance.
I can't help wishing it were Yale instead of Harvard because the Yale catalogue does seem to offer exactly what I want but one can't always tell by catalogues. Miss Comstock referred to the appointment of Dr. Crozier to teach physiology "on the side of the river." Do you know anything about the work he will give? I suppose he's the Crozier who used to teach at Woods Hole.
I'll send the Radcliffe application next mail. A letter may come from you before then. This new plan will of course prevent my doing my study at home in the summer of '26.
Much love, Miss Turner, & many, many thanks to you for getting Miss Comstock interested.
