We are leaving the end of next week for the West Coast, where we 
haw a few days "business*’ before the MARIPOSA sails. I am looking 
forward to seeing you, and a® most happy to learn that you probably 
will remain in Papeete for a few days following our arrival, lour 
confidences regarding some of the folks in Tahiti are appreciated and 
respected. Mr. McConnaughey 1 s deck hand is tops I understand, and I 
m glad to have the corroborative word from you. Too bad we are not 
having you on our cruise. 
The best of luck to you and Mrs. Randall, all good wishes.
