oe well worth while in the case of all your most important 
plants. It takes a long time to find out unless we can do 
this by actual chemical test. 
I have no idea how to send this letter, feu© you have 
given me no address.whatever. I hope, though, that by the ti®e 
this reaches Washington, where I will send it to forward to you, 
a cablegram will have come in from you telling where mail should 
00 sent,. As I cabled you in Szemao, your Florida expense check 
was sent to the American Consul in Rangoon, which was the onlv 
aaaress you had left tor mail. We had no idea that you would 
nou go t to Rangoon — tnat is no idea early enough to prevent our 
writing you there. _ I hope the cablegram which I sent from 
Washington via the British American Tobacco Co's agent (which 
I lid on the advice of Dr, Bain of the Bureau of Mines) reached 
you all right. It cost more than to cable via the Navy 
Dept., out, I couldn't i ind any addi'ess to wire you in Szemao, 
we all here send you our most sincere reerards, dear Rock, and 
trust sincerely that none of the perils of travel viill over¬ 
take you. 
As always. 
Your friend,
