proper prospective. 
Wire me, please, confirming or disputing the December 20 date 
to leave Midway. I wiH have your orders changed for transportation. 
It looks like you will just about come out even on your money if 
you stay there until the 20. I won't send more until I hear the 
yell for help. 
Thanks for all the good information in your letter of October 20. 
It answered many outstanding questions and ire*re cleaning up details 
here now which have been nagging us. Bill sent the Progress Reports 
and you both received a Gold Star for the week. You asked about an 
outline for your final report and unfortunately I haven't one to 
send. 'This is badly needed now that the work is so widespread and 
'. - ' 'i ' ■ * 
the personnel complement increased and Mr. Banko has been working on 
it. Trouble is, other things keep popping up, too. Maybe by 
December 1 will have something to send you. Otherwise - a "full 
report" as you express it is most satisfactory. 
I have much more to say, but good grief - look at this - a 
"Venus of the Pencil Pushers" type letter will follow soon when you’re 
not so saturated with black type. 
My best.

PS. I will wire Fred about the change in plans and he will come 
directly back to DC.
