Ammunition 
We haven 1 t done much shooting as yet so have a fair supply on hand# 
Don f t know if Dr# Ely was successful in locating the several boxes that 
are floating around somewhere in Pearl Harbor# If not, it wouldn r t hurt 
to send out # 2, # 4 and # 12 shot (which are hard to get in Honolulu#)) 
We need new leather gun pouches for both shotguns##*# 
Filter Screen for Lab Door - hope you checked on this item and were able 
to obtain several# We don t have anything in the lab door at present 
and it is hotter than the proverbial hinges in here# 
hi s 
This is all I can think of at the present time. Fred may be able to go 
over the list and add a few more i tarns here and there. Had to do this in a 
hurry because the mail will go out early tomorrow morning shortly after we 
land. The next mail will go out of Pago Pago around February 28 so there 
will be a slight delay between this letter and subsequent ones containing 
reports and ±x other pertinent (and impertinent) comments. 
If ambition and inspiration strikes strong enough there may even be another 
sterling edition of the Fairy Island Times . Time alone will tell. 
Before I forget, you might add two dozen of the Atlas quart jars to the 
ATF gear list. 
Only six more islands to go and we'll be headed back to Pearl, sigh! 
Hope you’re all behaving yourselves,...Max and I are. (trying to.)
