Bill se^s you are wojpried because you have been given entirely 
too inuch to do. Don’t worry « ^ust worit- and if these otl^r things around 
Honolulu cannot be studied now,' they can be picked up later. I haven’t 
talked much to Bill yet but he did say ycm were doing a good job and had 
your hands full. He also sald-sosathing about aore personnel at which 
I paled, but Bomehcw these things always work_out. Today we-are really 
crowded with people, just you two and Binion and Ken W. are away. HSaxly 
Septen&er tlie great exodus starts again. i - 
Behave your unlucky selves in Honolultilululululu. You’ll be hearing
