Dear Jane: 
I got the netting okay. It was shipped at the almost the 
same time as the streamers on August 10. Guess the air strike 
fouled it up. 
I got a letter from Jan about the lens for my camera. 
Sorry to have caused such a mess. If they will forward them 
to Washington and hold them there for a few weeks, I will get 
them out myself. I know you can sweet talk them into it. 
Can’t you???? 
The dropping contained two tecoveries new to us. he most 
exciting is the Golden Plover. That is a migration route unsus¬ 
pected by us.’!!! IJJJ In that short of time it could only have 
gone directI l !!!!! What a chance sinci se only banded about 30+ 
last year. 
Hot much more to write from here. The ship is going to tye 
Chain today (aleutians) and will be back by in 3—4 days. Should 
have lpOO more birds by that time.
