I have just had farther word (herewith) from Ccaimaiider Ittcholson regard- 
ing the cost of the ^extras” we may iiwmr on the forthcomli^ cruise. Ihe fit 
per day per man which I put down for subsistaace needs to be doubled to take 
care of those extras (harbor fees and others) and fuel, which I was unable 
to estimate before. 
Althoitgh I did make an allowance of |913 for incidentals and miscellaneous 
expenditures, it looks as thoii^h w@ may have to dip into the balaTxse raaaining 
in the African expeditionary fund, perhaps to the extant of |1,200 to |1,^>. 
I am bringiag this contingmicy to yotir attention at this time in case it 
arises. ¥e my also be expected to pay for Bredin »s round trip flight t© 
trLnidad to join the expedition m Kerch 12 and return hosefi^m Antigua on 
April 1, Howe^^er, as Commander Mctolson hopefully expresses it, we may be 
pleasantly surprised to find that the cost will come to less than the figure 
he quotes.
