Dear Mr. Banko; 
Preparing to leave on the May STARBRITE cruise this morning, I will 
attempt to get this letter in the mail bdfore we depart. Since getting in 
from the April cruise I have been busy leading a first trip to the °Big Island 0 
Hawaii. I do wish to acknowledge your last letter regarding the June Aleutian 
trip and say that I intend to return to Washington immediately Upon termination 
of the present cruise to begin work on it. 
See you in 17 days! 
Respectfully yours.
