Mr. Bryant told me about a week ago that Wetmore had arranged 
with one of Lewton's assistant curators to purchase some wood samples for 
$300, and neither Lewton nor Mitman knew anything about it until the bill 
came through for approval. Lewton was mad as hops and came over to pour 
out his woes to Mr. Bryant. 
Fred arrived on Monday morning and is going back on a midnight 
train Friday night. I thought he would have to work in here, but he is 
working in Clark’s room. I asked him to dinner for Friday night. MTs. 
Schmitt says she can't come because Waldo will be using the car. I re- 
cently met iv&Z Mr. and Mrs. Logan, who came from California last fall, and 
they have been urging me to bring a friend over and play bridge with them. 
I asked Fred if he played and he said yes, so I shall take him over to 
the Logans' after dinner and they can all talk California to their heart's 
content. It will make the evening work out very nicely. 
I had a nice week end with Mrs. Van Winkle. She said to tell 
you she was very sorry to miss you again, and she spoke again of how 
utterly bowled over she was by that paper. She feels that she was very 
undeserving of it. She certainly is a nice person, and is a grand kind 
of guest. She looks after herself and doesn't make any trouble at all. 
Miss ishton is asking for "The Two Solar Families. The Suns' 
Children. 11 Do you have any idea \vhere I might find it? It isn't in 
sight. 
Bartsch has gone on his trip and Mr. Shoemaker aays he expects 
to be gone until fall. Howard Ball is taking over his classes at G.W. 
for the summer. I bet Howard doesn't get paid anywhere near what the job 
is worth. 
Well, this is all there is, there ain't no more 
Sincerely,
