Your package of candy arrived yesterday and I appreciated it more than you know. The above address is temporary for a month or two. My correct address is:

We came down here on maneuvers and therefore the sweets are scare and the package doubly appreciated.
Very truly yours,

Interview with William A. Fowler
No full textInterview conducted in eight sessions between May 1983 and May 1984 with Willy Fowler, Nobel laureate and Institute Professor of Physics, emeritus. In a career in nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics that spanned more that sixty years, Fowler was primarily concerned with nucleosynthesis--that is, the creation of the heavy elements by the fusion of the nuclei of lighter elements. In 1957, with Fred Hoyle and Geoffrey and Margaret Burbidge, Fowler coauthored the seminal paper "Synthesis of the Elements in the Stars," now known as B2FH. In it, they showed that all the elements from carbon to uranium could be produced by nuclear processes in stars starting only with the light elements produced in the Big Bang. In the interview, Fowler discusses his early education as a physicist at Ohio State; his work with Charles C. and Tommy Lauritsen at Caltech's Kellogg Radiation Laboratory; the history of nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics at Caltech; and the evolution of nucleosynthesis. There are recollections of many of his mentors and colleagues, including Robert A. Millikan, Hans Bethe, J. Robert Oppenheimer, the Lauritsens, Fred Hoyle, the Burbidges, Jesse Greenstein, A. G. W. Cameron, Richard P. Feynman, and H. P. Robertson. A 1986 Supplement contains an interview on Fowler's work for the Naval Bureau of Ordnance and the Manhattan Project during the Second World War

Bryant Service Club,
Thanks a million for the box of candy which arrived in good shape in plenty of time to add the proper touch to the yuletide season.
I don’t know how your files can keep up with the many changes in addresses experienced by most military personnel. I have done the same job at the same military installation for two years but have had my address changed eight different times! Cheers to you because your file is up to date for me at least.
May I extend my sincere wishes for a prosperous new year to the Service Club, College, members of the faculty and the present student body.
Sincerely, S/Sgt. Robert N. Fowler A.S.N. 11044304 [Transcription ends

Dear Friends,
Just this morning I received a letter mailed June 8th. It had traveled to four rather distant points before it finally caught up, but it was very welcome in any case.
About two weeks ago a package of cookies also came my way after a trip nearly as long. I intended to notify you of my change in address, but before I had a chance to catch my breath from the last trip, I was on my way on another.
You will find my latest address in the upper right hand corner; it may be old before you send the next item, but at least it will cut down the trip by three or four stops.
Letters and packages mean a great deal to a man in the Army, which is a familiar remark by now, but nevertheless it is true. Candy and cigarettes are always available at the Post Exchange, but they mean more when they come through the mails as a gift.
Thanks again for your kindnesses, and I hope you get half the fun from sending as I do on the other end.
Very truly yours,
Pfc. Robert N. Fowler [Transcription ends

Hello !
Thanks for the candy you sent me here at the Army Base, it really was a welcome gift since candy is one of the hardest things to find both here on the Base and in the City of Wilmington, most anything is hard to find there.
We are situated at a brand new Air Base and thus far we don’t have much in the line of a Post Exchange. All the boys were hoping for plenty of candy for the Christmas holiday. I rather imagine that the two pounds won’t last long, but you may rest assured that [it]is being appreciated not only by me but by the other men in the barrack.
I am always interested in the doings of the graduates of Bryant and the November issue of the Bulletin provided plenty of such information.
We were well provided for at dinner today; I am sure that no one could have expected more at any Army camp. The mess sergeant has certainly a swift pace for himself from now on.
Thanks again for the gift. A happier new year to all the Bryant students.
Sincerely, Robert N. Fowler
December 25, 1942. [Transcription ends
