Diary: 9.20.2000 Thomas brought us together in the library this afternoon and announced to the others what he had already told me. Lucian seemed uninterested, Reginald excited. When Thomas announced who would be traveling across the sea I was struck dumb. Imagine! With the Rosenberg study almost ready for press, and the plasma vector more than halfway complete! It is unreasonable to expect that I can leave here in a fortnight. I must speak with Thomas about this immediately.     Transcribed and maintained Elizabeth Kent
