lea, we mst tear down toe Chapman house, hut about Jan 2B till about Jul 5 1952 
I will have it occupied by the fmir AM3H group. I want them completely isolated, 
for good reasons. In Feb 1 will have toe 4 he>’e two In old Chichi and 
Willie 3 in old Zm, that means 9. After Feb ’29 or so, I ^se 5.1ut I^re

I won t tear down Chapman until wa are ready to start to© new bldg.

Now, if you see toat we arm gat that cable across, then that takas first place.
