a much better position to tell you about Kure in December than I. Bill plans to 
bring the November rej&ts with him when he comes. 
Albatross are everywhere here, and the first egg was seen at Midway Nov. 
13, and Kure on the 14th ( Black-foots ). The chicks should begin hatching 
about Jan. 15. All other bird species seem rather quifefe, and lately it has turned 
and Norfeh-windish. He have gotten the vegitation studies underway as of today, 
and now I am tired and the swollen thumb is still that way and I win grumblingly 
go to bed. 
By the way, my plane reservations call for me to leave Hono. Dec. 23, arriving 
in Detroit late Dec. 23 . Merry Christmas. See you at the Luau. 
Jim ( At least I was last week ) 
P.S. According to my calculations, I will be down to $ 12.36 by the time I 
reach Hono. Dec. 21. Would you please advance me $ 100.00 more as I have 
no personal checksof my own with me, and I would like a small cushion when travel¬ 
ing. I'll return it. Honest. Bye Love.
