Mill you not kindly send Mr. James McConnaughey, The Kettering-Oakwood 
Times, 2600 Par Hills Building, Dayton 9, Ohio, a check for $1,600 to cover 
the balance due him for the charter of his yacht “Mareva** for the U6 days 
for which it was at the disposal of the Smithsonian Bredin Society Islands 
Expedition? 
As I have already reported to you, we are all safely back with very 
satisfactory and worthwhile "plunder” for your national Museum.
