Arnold thanks his family for their birthday gifts to him. With some of his birthday money, he bought Men of Mathematics, 1937, by E. T. Bell, and a biography of Santiago Ramón y Cajal, who was a 1906 Nobel prize winner as a Spanish scientist, pathologist, and histologist specializing in neuroanatomy and the central nervous system.

It appears that they got Arnold's letter of July 22 already the next day, the 23rd. That really is wonderful mail service. Seventy years later there is no improvement on that; rather a decline, I would say.
The enclosures Hazel mentions are missing. Hazel's kitchen remodeling job has begun but there are still some details to finish.
