Dear Dr. Gajdusek, 
Just a quick note. We are being transferred from Santa Cruz to Honiara on 
November 25th, so time is rather precious for me at this end, and I must remain 
here. 
Leonard, the Medical Assistant at Tikopia, asked for some supplies. There 
are four bags of rice and two tins in the lab. Could you make sure he receives 
these please. Also the letter with this, addressed to Leonard. Inside this 
letter, to Leonard, 1 have put $6 asking him to purchase me a mat. Perhaps you 
will be kind enough to bring this back to Santa Cruz for me. 
See you in Santa Cruz. 
In haste, 
Richard Lee
