MSG ABOUT DELAY IN ARRIVAL OF DRY ICE UNACCOUNTABLY NOT TRANSMITTED MORNING OF 
NOV 13. PROFOUNDLY DISAPPOINTED THAT YOU DID NOT RECEIVE MSG, BUT WOULD HAVE 
THOUGHT YOU WOULD RADIO YOURSELF TO MADDOX WHEN DRY ICE DID NOT ARRIVE AS 
PLANNED ON NOV 13. BE ASSURED THAT NO EFFORT WAS SPARED HERE TO ARRANGE 
LIAISON. IN VIEW OF SUCH FAILURE DESPITE ALL POSSIBLE PRECAUTIONS I CANNOT 
GUARANTEE SUCCESS AT PONAPE. GUAM HAS REPEATED LETTERS, CABLES AND PHONE CALLS 
AS WELL AS ADEQUATE CONTAINERS AND PONAPE HEALTH OFFICER REPEATEDLY CABLED. TOO 
LATE NOW TO ARRANGE ALTERNATE PLAN. IVAN EN ROUTE. I AWAIT FURTHER INFORMATION 
ON ENTIRE STATUS OF SPECIMENS AT HONIARA. REPEAT ONCE MORE THAT KIRK WILL TRY 
TO SALVAGE TYPING, THAT SHAW UNABLE TO HELP AND SIMONS REMAINS SILENT.
