with their close friends Frances and Francis Cornford, along with their respective children. The Salamans had four children: Nina Wedderburn, Thalia Brenda Polak, Ruth Chattie Salaman and David Francis Salaman. When Myer joined the Royal Army Medical Corps in 1943, Esther and their children stayed on with the Cornfords. That same year, she and Frances together published an anthology of poems from the Russian, which included biographies of Kruykov, Pushkin, Blok, and Akhmatova. The two families often retreated to Ringstead, Norfolk, where the Cornfords maintained a cottage attached to the Darwin family's six-storey Hunstanton Mill, constructed in 1850. From 1936 the Mill served as a debating retreat for the Theoretical Biology Club, a group of organicists and theoretical biologists that included John D. Bernal, Max Black, J. B. S. Haldane, Dorothy and Joseph Needham, Karl Popper, C. H. Waddington, Bertold Wiesner, Joseph H. Woodger, and Dorothy Wrinch. In 1956, Frances Cornford sold the property to the Salamans. Salaman's reminiscences of Einstein were broadcast on the BBC Third Programme in 1955, and her second novel, The Fertile Plain, was published in 1956. Later life In 1948, Myer Salaman was hired as Director of the Cancer Research Department at the London Hospital Medical College and the family moved to London. Esther Salaman's later works include A Collection of Moments (1970), a study of involuntary memory, and The Great Confession (1973), which explores the use of memory by Aksakov, De Quincey, Tolstoy and Proust. She published memoirs of Albert Einstein and Paul Dirac in Encounter in 1979 and 1986 respectively. She died on 9 November 1995 at the age of 95.
