1 went up to New York with Nr. Buck of NaoManus, 
Incorporated, arid ara just back to your letter* 
Everything so eras to be going along aa well aa 
could be expected. The State Be pa3 C U? . k OI l t have cabled for 
permits; the Paths’a are assembling their outfit; and we 
are busy here. To pi.raphriue an old joke, !, us a journalist 
I am an awfully good bug-catcher 6 ’, so 1 have given the in- 
formation &#d for to uci. and Bllingstcn, leaving the an** 
nounceraant up to them, and have asked thefc l!r. KacYanus be 
given the thing before its release. I recognize that the 
initial armouaoexue nt is an important thing* 
_ 
I do hope that I shall be- able to see Hr. hue farms 
before we start, to talk over a lot of ideas relative to 
sending in publicity from the field* 
1 noticed this morni in glancing over a draft 
of the advance ar» f that Sr* EXlingston has adopts y 
Of featuring C. as a friend of children, vfcioh indeed h 
$hon do you plan to get up this way? 
1 expect to sc pretty intensely on the job between 
now and the day of sailing. I almost said the BIG BAY, but 
the big day will be the on© when we arrive back in Washington 
with the stock* 
In haste 
Sincerely yours, 
Hr. Stephen Hawies,
