Bear Lieut. Rideout: 
Here are Just a few prints that we took on that cloudy day 
we went over to Har borough. It wasn't much of a day for picture taking 
and so we will have to make the most of these indifferent prints. Never- 
theless, you can see yourself in two of the®. Of those I send a number 
of copies. Won't you kindly give one of each to the several ©en who ap- 
pear in the picture? I think there are enough to go around. If not, I 
shall send ©ore. The four tingles show the place where we got the 
iguanas and a couple of pictures of the®. 
We had better luck with the dolor and I have a nice series of 
this little excursion and of the iguanas, too, but, as you know, one 
can't easily get copies of Kodachrome pictures unless one gets the© 
pabli shed . 
I don't need to tell you and the rest of the wardroom tow much 
I enjoyed the cruise. It was a grand one and, thanks to you, good eats 
all the way. I never shall forget the grafted mangoes. Were they 
grafted before we got them, or did we do the grafting? They certainly 
were good and ©y mouth is watering for the© right nowl 
The Navy has certainly kept you folks on hhe jump, but I hope 
they will leave you in Long Beach long enough at least to get this letter. 
Sincerely, 
WLSjLMc

Division of Marine Invertebrates.
