Dear Jane, 
Just a note to say we will be leaving here on Sept. 1st and arriving 
on the East coast at 3 '30 PM EST on Sept. 2nd. We will be in Washington 
on Sept. 8th. Would you please see what you can do about having my 
past perdiem check by that time. We will be pretty broke by then. I 
was advanced $500,00 already. I will have no other reimbursements 
for items in Honolulu. I am not sure of the policy for reimbursement 
for travel expenses from Ithaca to Washington and return. I know some 
of the guys have recieved payment to and from where they were living. 
I will discuss this with you when I return. 
>ee you soon. 
Sincerely yours. 
Richard W. Merrill
