dear Wetmore: 
Major and Mrs. W. G. Westall (Pacific Sector Engineer, 
Fort Clayton) want you and I for dinner. I told them you are still in 
the field and that I do not know for sure when you would return, I also 
told her that I would find out from you approximate date of your return 
to civilization, and will let her know this as soon as I know. You may 
not know as yet just when but perhaps you will know the approximate time. 
If you can at this time give an approximate date, do so, and if a more 
definite date, better yet, 
I hope the Herrera dust is not raising havoc with your throat,- Perrygo 
should have his pretty well coated by now. 
Did you, Perrygo, Stirling or Stewart want me to get for them any of the 
commemorative stamps? If so, let me know how many and I will include them 
In my order. The same will apply to first day covers, provided I have a 
list of names and addressed to whom these are to go. With only 500,000 
of the stamps issued, these stamps, and especially the first day covers 
will be rather valuable items withing a few years. 
As to the Graf Itr, I sent you ny reply, and I will be grateful for any 
fatherly advice you can give me. They should send me the proper Std Forms 
which I believe are 33 and 1036, and make one set out in dummy so that 
payments will not be delayed because of any error on my part in filling 
out the spaces. 
with warm regards to all
