Mr, Douglas Hackman 
1904 Kaloo Drive., Apt, 2 
Honolulu, Hawaii, 
Dear Doug; 
I have had so many letters from you recently that I don’t see how 
you are finding time to do anything except writeI 
Jan said to tell you that he could take approximately one hundred 
specimens which are tropic bird size. By all means do not send anything 
until the airlines strike is over as nobody can guarantee delivery 
at this time. Try to remember that Jan and I like to go away on week¬ 
ends also and not to send them here to reach here on Thursday or Friday. 
I had to wait here with him when we were going to the eastern shore 
a few weeks ago to receive a shipment from you or Dick Merrill, I have 
forgotten which. 
There is no reason under thetsun for you to take days of leave 
if you did not actually use it. Just let it pile up, and at the endsof 
the year you’21 have to lose it. Too bad—but that is life as we live 
it in the Pacific Project, 
I still haven’t done anything about the alcohol— isn't there some 
way that you can get it through VCF? Would you give it a try and then 
let to know if I still have to get it from here. If you can find a 
source in Honolulu which already has a permit for importing it, it would 
make things much easier all around, and it would probably be less 
expensive. 1 
Best regards, 
Church
