Letter from Izzy, page 2, 1943, Sep, 11
I heartily urge you to accept. I recognize your reluc- tance to forgo your first love, ‘Medicine’ but since this field is closed to you anyhow, I regard any opportunity for advanced training such as Engineering as an opportunity too good to pass up. You plead deficiency of ability in absorbing Math, I do not agree. I believe in your capabilities and in your ability to master any task to which you apply yourself. You need not give up your ambitions for Medicine but decide rather to postpone them as your peacetime objective.
