Dear Maryanna: 
Everything is more or less O.K. here. The expense money check arrived 
here but I havf to go to Midway to cash it so it may be a little while 
before I can pay Bianchi. 
Income tax is the next problem. .About $50.00 has been withheld from 
my salary for D. C. Tax. How do I get this money returned. I have no 
residence established there so I should not have to pay it. Would you 
please send me the necessary forms. 
I know you are very busy so I won't bore you with any more problems 
unless its absolutely necessary. 
See you sometime, I hope. 
As Always, 
bert R* Fleet
