$e nT 3°° Streamer sighting sheets - we will probably change this form soon.because of the 
increasingly large number of sightings. 
-iS/F At /^ Big piles of intermediate sheets. Unless someone back in D.C. wants to do these 
sheets there should be a large pile of them out here. It seems to work best if these 
are done while the trip is in progress and also gives the boys something to do when 
they are in port. It is very unlikely that thejs will all be completed however, if 
people have to wait until they return here in between trips. If trips leave here 
and don't have their forms finished I plan to send them back to D.C. for completion 
because I sure don't have time to mess with them. 
From the way things are beginning to look we are going to need more than 300,000 more 
# 3 bands to keep ourselves in operation for the coming year. 1/fi.th five back to back SIC 
trips plus numerous other operations that seem to be in the offing at the present time a 
supply of 300,000 won't last very long. They have wiped out my supply of 600,000 in a little 
more than U months. I am presently down to about U5j000 bands and don’t expect them to 
last any great length of time. If the SIC trip calls for them I have orders to send them 
down. There is, then, a very good chance that I'll be completely out of $3 bands by the 
beginning of August. My supplies of other sizes are in pretty good shape at the current 
time.

v3*The items marked with an asterick should be shipped via Uth class mail so they will 
be here in time for the next SIC trip and for other trips going out between now and then. 
The rest can be shipped via surface transport. 
I think this will do us for quite a while. The reason for the big blood item shipment 
is partly the large number of committments that appear to be brewing plus the heavy drain 
on supplies by the island stations (about U00 of everything per month at the present time) 
Hope everything is going well back in DsC. Give my regards to all. Finally, witn 
Dick Merrill here to do run around work and keep tabs on the warehouse, I have the 
opportunity to start a job and follow it to its conclusion. Maybe now I'll be able to 
keep up with all of the jobs that have been keeping me buried in the past. I'm presently 
working on a complete up-dating of the inventory and have many other jobs all liner]up 
to be done. Up to now it has been virtually impossible to do much more than keep my 
head above water with supplies and banding records since a good of my time is spent 
in running around town when I'm here by myself. 
The baby is really doing well and is behaving himself beautifully. Hasn't kept us up 
one night yet and hardly ever cries except when he's wet, etc. or hungry, Linda is also 
doing well even though she is currently highly disorganized.
