Dear Carleton, 
I am so sorry I haven’t send you a letter since you left. 1 miss you 
and I think so does everyone at home. Yavine is fine and he is doing 
pretty well in school. He is studying very hard. Mororui is also fine and 
working very hard too. Ivan and Joe are both still fine. Mathias is home 
now and he is still the same as before he went back to Micronesia. Jesse 
called yesterday from his college and said he is still fine and is always 
busy with a lot of school works. He said the only time that he can see us 
is during Thanksgiving and Christmas. If he ever come down this 
Thanksgiving, he might come with em and the others to visit the Langs in 
North Carolina. 
Dr. Morris Schaeffer and Josephine are living at our house right now 
and every day they would go out and look for a house for themselves. They 
have been here for seven days. They finally found a little house in 
Bethesda on Old Georgetown Road just across from N.I.H. Joe just left two 
days ago to go fishing with a friend of his in Florida. He will be back in 
two or three days. Mai, Jill and her children are all fine. 1 am still 
fine. I am having little trouble in chemistry and did not do too well but 
passed my last test. I am working very hard on it most of the time that 
now I always have a little time to spend on my other subjects. I don't 
think I will be able to start off this year as well as I did last year but 
I am trying very hard to come back. I am still doing pretty well in my 
math and Spanish. 
It is very cold around here now and snowed two days ago. The snow is 
gone now but it is still cold outside. I got back some of the pictures 
that we took on our west coast trip last summer in they were beautiful. I 
hope you all are having a good time working. I wish I am there with you to 
see how clear the water is because I am getting sick of looking at Potomac 
River. I am just kidding. 
Anyway, that is about all I would like to say. Good luck on your work 
and hope to see you in early December. Please give my greeting to all the 
others, especially Judy, Francoise, Mike Alpers, Paul Brown, Dr. Ferber and 
those I forgot to name. 
Sincerely yours, 
Jesus Tamel 
P.S. 1. " We missed you ” 
2. We had a huge cake for my birthday yesterday on October 20th. I 
am 16 already.
