Dear Dr. Wetmore: 
I know you will be interested in the 
enclosed copy of a letter from the Bureau of the Budget 
received this morning, giving our figures. As yon. 
will notice, we have a net gain over the ciirrent appro- 
priationsof $7,950, which, under the circumstances, 1 
think, is very good. 
Sincerely yours, 
Secretary.
