I did not see the letter you drafted to Dr. Perkins 
but I was notified that it contained some very complimentary things. 
Thank 3 rou very much. I had a nice reply from Mr. Bredin. 
No more has transpired about a boat than talk. Something 
and somebody has to be stirred up around here. How I don’t know, 
but we are being flooded with graduate students in Marine Biology. 
The department chairman told me the other day that over half of the 
new graduate students coming in September are in Marine Biology, 
and I am frankly at a loss what to do since my program is dependent 
upon having acdess to a boat. 
Thank you for the crab key chains. Jo still talks about 
her very nice visit. Right now I am waiting for her to bring our 
younger boy home from the hospital. He had his tonsils removed 
yesterday." The past two days have been hard ones for Jo since mothe 
is the only one who will do when a small boy is hurting. Our older 
boy hasn’t' seen his mother for over a day, though he has been very 
good he is getting anxious to see her. Jo has been leaving before 
Steve wakes up and didn’t return from the hospital last night until 
after Steve was asleep. She was gone again by 6:45 this morning. 
I hope you and Plrs. Schmitt have a wonderful time in 
Europe this summer. Do lots of sight-seeing. 
Cordially'',
