M ou notice we will he working out of Adak in the area southwest of 
Attu Island.. In addition to port calls at Adak, we'll undoubtedly put in 
to Attu to pick up mail on occasions. 
I see hy your letter that your ornithologists will be transferring to 
. Lawrence Island about this time. If by chance one man wishes to 
uransier to 'die Kelez for the second cruise, room will be available. There 
would oe the matter of making connections at Adak or Attu. This could be 
arranged if sufficient notice is given. 
If we do not hear from you we'll assume you do not plan to put a man aboard 
tne Meanwhile, we'll collect and save all birds incidentallv 
taken in the gill nets.
