Dr. Clay G. Huff, 
Head, Division of Parasitology, 
Naval Medical Research Institute, 
National Naval Medical Center, 
Bethesda 14, Maryland. 
Dear Dr. Huff: 
I am interested in yours of 22 October and the proposal 
relative to the collection of blood smears from birds. 
I will be glad to help you if this is a practicable 
matter but believe that it will be desirable to discuss the 
procedure in person, in order to make sure that the matter 
is one that can be carried forward successfully with the 
usual chores that attend field operations. 
I made a number of blood smears years ago for certain 
studies in which I was interested but wish to check up on your 
modern techniques. 
As a suggestion as to how we may best disi^Mi*the 
matter I propose that at your convenience you caftme by 
telephone when perhaps we may be able to arrange for 
luncheon at the Cosmos Club where I will be happy to have you 
as my guest. If you will call me then we can arrange a 
time when my other engagements permit. 
Sincerely yours. 
hs 
A. Wetmore 
Secretary.
