2. Rush back to Leon Rosen the FIVE HAT BOXES (Large) he receives with the 
sera. (For Rosen to dispatch to us filled with dry ice), on flight of 
November 30 from Honolulu to Ponape. We need at least 300 punds more dry 
ice PLUS shipping containers, BEFORE the flight from Ponape to Honolulu and 
on to Washington. However, all will FAIL unless the collect air freight 
matter is solved! We can not continue to cough up hundreds of dollars in 
cash! 
3. Ask Paul to again request GUAM to send us 200 lbs dry ice on flights to 
Ponape, November 20th and December 1st. Do something about containers for 
them. 
4. Ask Paul and Marion to check with Waugaman and others immediately how I am 
to be reimbursed for hundreds spend on air freight since airlines refuse to 
send COLLECT. I have receipts, but no authorization in advance for this. 
They must arrange for this ex post facto. 
5. If shipping containers from Honiara (arrived there after our departure) 
reach Rosen, these can be used to dispatch CLOTS to Kirk; 
Dr. Robert Kirk 
Department of Human Genetics 
John Curtain School of Medicine 
Australian National University 
Canberra, A.C.T. 
AUSTRALIA 
6. Cable Kirk consignment numbers and flights of shipment so he can meet it or 
follow it by phone. CLOTS to Australia must go in new containers, for those 
we have used are "temporary" or, as the small hat boxes, "inadequate." If 
containers from Honiara do not arrive, LARGE HAT BOXES will hold one BRAIN 
BOX of clots plus plenty of dry ice. But do not use these until after we 
get them back for our return to Ponape. Do not rely upon these large hat 
boxes reaching Rosen on time to ship us dry ice on November 29. If they do 
not arrive, ship 300 lbs. as he did before. 
7. Summary of Dry Ice shipments to us: 
From NINDS GUAM 
November 29 (Wednesday) 200 lbs. 
December 1 (Friday) 200 lbs. 
From Honolulu 
November 30 (Thursday) 300 lbs. 
(in the days of waiting for flight to Honolulu (Dec. 2nd, Saturday) more 
than half the dry ice will be lost. Redundancy in shipment is to insure 
that one, at least, gets here). Guam and Rosen must have containers to ship 
in, so we can use them to return shipment with sera. We still have half the 
sera (5 large hat boxes) on our hands and any virus specimens we may get 
from Pingelap.
