Dear Max: 
Hope you get these. I don't anticipate any openings but one never 
knows and Dr. Humphrey would like to see Mr. Delong's application(in 
dublicate). 
We are all excited about your return - you're right, you've been gone 
a long time. At least you will be in civilization while checking the 
'at-sea* records there. 
If it helps in your planning any, you will probably be going on the 
December At-Sea cruise, leaving Honolulu approximately December 1. On the 
way out there, you can stop in South Dakota (l‘m sure no-one would question 
your motivation to that placeI). 
Gung bo. 
(Mrs) Maryanna Smellow 
Research Secretary 
Division of Birds 
PS. I couldn't send a ticket, so sent money instead - are you upset?
