Dear Mrs. Church, 
Well I am on my way to Washington but due to the (#$$? ’ ?$=-32m##') 
air line strike I have been held up.KEJBEcy I plan to stop off in Iowa on the 
way to settle tome business matters there and visit a few of the relatives 
before arriving in Washington. Dr. Pyle has informed me that you and I can 
settle pwnraHn? per diem and leave problems. He also told me that he has informed 
you about my plans to go to Africa. Would you please have my papers, and what¬ 
ever else is necessary, ready for leaving the project when I arrive. I don't 
know how much time I will have. I hope that this request doesn’t place any 
particular burden an your already-busy schedule. 
Until I arrive at S.I. give all my regards. Thank you.
