Dear Maryanna: 
I recently ordered a tape recorder from the Far East 
Exchange. It is to be sent to D.C. I had it sent to ny 
apartment address, since I thought I would be back in time 
to receive it there. I did give the SI address as a 
forwarding address. Be on the look out for this, as I 
would hate for it to be sent back to Japan. I ordered 
it April 20th, and normally it takes about a month to 
receive something from the F.E.E. I also joined the 
Columbia tape club this week, so a package and correspon¬ 
dence will be coming soon. Do not forward the tapes to me 
here in the field. If I receive the monthly selection 
booklet, open the letter and see how long I have to send 
it back. If you think I have time td receive it and send 
it back, forward it on to me immediately. If you don't 
think I will have time to receive it, I'll trust you with 
making the selection for me. 
Enclosed you will find a cartoon which according to 
Dick fits the "Tall Tale" from Kure* You can add the 
proper name to the caption. 
Best regards. 
Binion
