Dear Maryanna: 
Glad to hear the fair has provided all you could desire. What a shock to 
all of us to find that you had gone with Rose and Judy. A person could perhaps 
stand one at a time but both togeather and the poor fair had to put up ivLtli all 
three of you at once.,. 
Long continues to send his love being too sick to say more. It to hard to S& 
summarize what the rest of them say about you they 1 re such a talkative bunch. 
In fact we have started the movie critics discussion league, the forum for 
modern ideas, philosophy 9^6 and the student non violent league for serving 
peanut butter in the wardroom. In the rest of our scare time, this captain has 
a great ability for wasting time at sea, we send get well cards to Long, terrorize 
the birdge and in general soread peace and disorder throughout the ship. 
The Fairy Island times my not make it out until late as everyone is s ending 
their time talking. The progress reports have been mailed earlier and all other 
important la levs will probably oe discarded. 
If the ship doesn’t sink, the incompetent crews don f t kill us all in the surf 
or we don’t all *o ATF craz~ we will be back in Pearl Harbor in late July. Unfort¬ 
unately the late July arrival is running a poor fourth at present. In any case 
am I still cleared to go to the AOU meetings in Kansas? If Peggy comes to 
Honolulu I will fly to Kansas instead of driving.

Peter says I have a very understanding wife in that if he marries he 
•rant his wife to lot him write to other women. If you know any youn 
lady who wants to make this a better world to live in you light suggest that 
she try recivi izing hr. Gill, Marshall and Huber. I don’t think America is 
ready for their frank and direct way of describing life.
