Dear Dr. Van Straelen* 
ify French is not of the best, but I think I 
understand your letter of Februaiy 21. 
It will be wonderful to have that first lot of 
Material d*lxodid©8 at band, and though you do have an 
overwhelming lot of Acarlens , I a® hoping that before too 
long Dr. Wharton and his colleagues will be ready to take 
on uor«? material beyond the 7 to 800 specimens that you 
are transmitting at this time. I would write you more at 
this time, tout I am leaving tomorrow for two months in 
the Caribbean. When I find time, I will drop you a card.

Always my best to you and yours. Lots of good luck.
