Dear Fernald: 
As it is getting along towards the time that you are (according 
to my last information) expected back in Cambridge I 3111 enclosing three 
sub-vouchers, which I would like to get signed up so that I can send 
in my expense account. So far as signing these vouchers is concerned 
all you have to do is to write your name on the "signature" line of 
each sub-voucher indicated by the pencil cross. In connection with 
these there are some items of details that I would like to know about 
so that I can insert an explanation regarding them. On the sub-voucher 
Ho. 5 my memorandum gives 3 different items, ...16, $30 and $3.25, 
totalling $49.25, but I took no memorandum as to what these items were 
for,other than the general one of auto and truckage. If you have your 
memoranda handy I would be glad if you would send me a little more 
detailed information as to what these items were for. 
In sub-voucher Ho. 6 am I correct in supposing that Joe had $4.00 
a day and the other two $3.00? If this is so, Joe's bill would be $124 
and the other two $186 for the 31 days in July, totalling $310. Tnis
