Dear Doc* 
Only have time to dash off a few hurried lines 
and tell you "Many thanks" for the prints of the 
negatives you returned. 
Enclosed are a couple of negatives of the 
ship that you may use for any length of time 
that you may happen to need than. 
Game back from ten days leave today and got 
my mail and am going right back offer in about ten 
minutes, almost forgetting to send you the nogs* 
Hope to see you on the east coast next spring. 
anywhere the HOUSTON is a& you will be able 
to find me .
