Dear Maryanna: 
Bob sends his love - 
understand the rest of the crew got togeather with Bob and sent you a 
photograph from Palmyra Island so I quess I don't need to write for them. 
Most people here need money in order to buy their way off the ship 
in July. Could you pry some loose from that office staff of yours. 
I'm tnirucing of staying out in Honolulu an extra week after getting back 
j.rom this cruise. Partly to show Peggy around but also to pack up the ATF 
supplies for the Oct.-Nov. trip. The confusion this time was almost as bad as 
i.. - 60 . If someone else is going to take over the Oct—Nov. trip things should 
be in some semblance of shape as neither Hackman or Huber are going to have 
any time to organize after this trip or before the next one. 
IJhat does a 500 pound canary say as it flies down the alley? Here kitty 
kitty, kitty. J ’ 
Life so far has been mass confusion. Schedule changed so we had to leave 
Palmyra two days early, Jarvis dropped from the schedule and then Long got 
stranded on Washington Island with all the booze and wahines for threee days. 
'Te are now looking forward to land fall off ehristmas Island in an hour or so 
at whic time the fearless and eager Smithsonian party will charge ashore 
looking for more, as yet undiscovered, secrets of nature. 
i How are the aleutians, at-sea, Binion, Fleet, et al doing. The whole 
truth now. Non of this covdr up for Fleet. What did Linda really say as she went 
over the typewritten or has Bob changed.? 
regards
