anything to him. 
Mr. Burkenroad has also lately been just as bad about leav- 
ing at 4:30 and 1:00 on Saturday, as he was before. 
I am enclosing a bill of lading for you to use in shipping 
your stuff back up. Mr. Bryant says be sure to send us the white sheet 
when you send the stuff. 
Mr. Bryant is looking out for the filters. I am afraid it 
won't be possible to get them in time for the boat on the 14th. Garber 
says if he can't get than at the War Department he c^ get them at 
the airplalie field at Dayton, Ohio. In that case, it will taKe about 
a week, so you will get them on the next boat. 
Mrs. Van Winkle, has been back for some time now and seems 
to be all right. Neither she nor the doctor could think of any good 
reason why she got shingles. 
I t.hink that Mr. Richards was really within his rights in 
taking his vacation in June, and he certainly had a right to go 
wherever he pleased. We were all warned and advised to take our 
leave in June and there was hardly anybody here during the last half 
of the month. As I wrote you before, I got three half days that last 
week of the month. It made me rather sore, but, in order to keep 
peace in the family, I came to work. I'll tell you about it when you 
get back. 
You will see in the enclosed copy of Local Notes a paragraph 
about Mr. Richards' receiving his degree and going to Bermuda. Mr. 
Bryant told me this morning that Mr. Richards had asked him if he 
should send such a note to Local Notes, and Mr. Bryant told him 
aboalutely yes. Mr. Richards saw Mr. Bryant this morning and told him 
that when Local Notes eame out and Bartsch read the paragraph, he was 
mad as ahomet and Mr. Richards heard him phone Hr. True and ask him 
who gave him the note. Can you beat it? 
Mr. Shoemaker looked in 62 for the Curacao volume but could 
not find it. I have sent to the libraiy for another copy and will send 
it to you as soon as possible. Where will I address Boeke for another 
copy for us? 
Please excuse the mistakes. It is after 4j30 and I am hurry- 
ing. I was afraid to leave this letter to morning for fear I wouldn't 
get it in the mail in time* 
I am enclosing the envelopes you wanted. 
Sincerely,
