.Dear Or. Mieeleri 
larly in May I reinraed from the lifest ladies with 
38 saaplea put ap in the same fashion as those I teonght 
back from the Congo, in stoat auslin bags enclosed in 
plastic ones, These I wold like to send to the da ^nt 
folks, as before. Is it necessary to obtain farther 
clearance from the da Bants? If that is the case, yoa 
nay prefer to do so over yoar oan signatare. The sam- 
ples are here in the-««£tca Masew® in the boxes in 
whiph they were packed at St, Croix. They haven't 
been opened and can be delivered to yoa if yoa wish 
them broaght to yoar office. 
I enclose Mr, J, ¥. IfeQthea's letter of September 
18 to me for yoar information. As you will see, he has 
taken Dr. Dale E. ¥blf 's place, A list of the samples 
is attached to this letter. 
Wienever jroa give me the word, I will either briLag 
the samples to yoa or forward them to Mr* feOahen. 
Sincerely,
