Gentlemeni 
I beg to ask that you forward to me the following 
articles as described in your recent 1937 catalogue} 
Page 22 
1 waterproof ditty bag 7" x 10" 
fage 40 
4 02* Knorr*s gravy powder 
aggjyL 
1 unbreakable mirror (steel)

Telescoping steel tent poles for 8-1/2*x 
8-1/2* Baker tent purchased from you several years ago# 
I wish to have two upright poles and erne ridge pole# 
Your consideration of the proper size will be appreciated# 
For the ridge pole I assume that the 10 foot length will be 
necessary as fro© the description it appears that this is 
adjustable so that it can be made to fit the 8-1/2 foot tent. 
For the two upright poles X believe the 8-1/2 foot length will 
b© desirable. The tent stretches 7' but withthe longer poles 
I suppose that 6 or 8 inches can be buried in the ground and 
the remaining length adjusted by means of the set screws so 
as to support the tent properly. If I am wrong in ray belief 
as indicated above pleas© send me poles of the proper dimension. 
X beg to ask that this material be shipped to me so as 
to reach flash 1ngton not later than Kay 27* Bill directly to 
me for payment by the Smithsonian Institution with the usual 
discount# 
Very truly yours, 
A. WETMORE 
Assistant Secretary.
