Turing Note

A note by Turing, sent to Woodger when he was returning to NPL after a long illness.

 

Dear Woodger,

Unfortunately Wilkinson and I have both arranged to go on leave just this moment when you are coming back. I expect you can keep yourself fairly busy though you could

1) DO ROOT, OUTPUT
2) Try and help other people in the Division doing ACE jobs. Bring Boss up to date he has missed several lectures
3) Read the folder
4) Read some good book
5) Relax

I hope you really are all right. It is a shame to have you come back and find the place deserted. You might be wise to have a relapse for a week.

Yours

Alan Turing
