Dear Vin: 
From the looks of the situation at the moment you will be asked to 
return to Washington sometime in May to assist in planning our summer 
and early fall work in the Aleutians. 
Preparation will include the usual grounding: in the literature of 
the region as well as a trip with someone from this office to line up 
Fish and Wildlife Service and possible military cooperators in the 
area or areas which appear to hare the greatest .potential for results. 
Dr. Humphrey and I are sure you will be a big help in all of this and 
are locking forward to seeing you soon. 
You will receive further ward regarding the date of your departure 
from Hawaii. It was good hearing from you. 
Sincerely yours.
