My dear Francis
Your letter of the 6th has just come, and is welcome. I was beginning to be a little worried for several days had passed & no word from you  You have certainly struck an interesting trail in the mat weaving. I think you have done splendidly. I have just had a talk with Mr. Hodge over the telephone and he was most cordial and appreciative of you & your work. he said to tell you to let him know if you needed anything for your work, and to tell you to send in your expense account, [[strikethrough]] that [[/strikethrough]] you are to send in all your expenses for sustenance, etc. and he would attend to it here.  He was very friendly. I told him that I wanted to go down & look after you for I felt anxious about you and your physical comfort. You had never been so long time

[[margin]] Do you want the Ham books sent you?[[/margin]]
