My dear Son,

Peter^[1] rang me just to say this — There is a Senior Post going as Lectureing — Computer Science I gather — with the Nene Foundation Trust & if you are interested he thinks you'd stand a good chance; so far, for the Summer term, with the possibility of a permanent position afterwards. Salary around £6000. Peter says they move^[2] on April 20^th & are having a party which they'd like you to attend to meet this fellow. He asked for Janet's phone N^o as I told him you would probably be there around April 18^th or you get in touch with him as soon as you can. The post isn't advertised yet & Peter says he knows for sure there'll be no more such posts for 2 yrs. Either write to Peter or to me to let Peter know how you feel about it. He says it would be marvellous to work with you.

Trust you are well, dear. I'm getting this off quickly so you can think about it & let Peter know as soon as possible.

Lots of love

                Mother
