Dear Dr, Robinson; 
The small camera came a few days ago and I 
tool-: it to look over carefully before having it sent you. 
I discovered a portion of it that was out of proper adjustment 
and called the attention of the agent here to it. He said it 
was something that he could probably fix in a few minutes 
himself, but thought the better plan would be to send it back 
pn-o 
to the factory to be A readjusted. This he has done. He said 
that he did not want a camera to go out of his place unless 
he felt sure it was all right in all respects. I heartily 
agreed with him. 
This will mean a delgry that none of us had figured on, 
but I think you^agree that it was wiser to return it to the 
factory than to try to repair it, or having it repaired here 
in Providence. Am sorry for the dalgry. 
I may be out of town more or less between now and Jan. 1. 
I am now having a vacation. Mail addressed as usual will be 
forwarded, however. 
Very truly yours,
