Insure for 3000.00, and prepay express _ In case Mr. Farisf finds the Government is not willing to send them through, I will see that the bills are paid.

Once, number 5 is in too bad condition to go since they are not prepared in Washington to attend to it. It is impossible for us to do it justice, and I suggest sending in its place a lovely Navajo sand painting design by Albert Hard, that is very nearly finished. Page Albert Hardy each day for three days somebody!

The so-called frames on these panels are merely a casing to protect the panels and to hold the two sides together, and are not used on the single panels. Mr. Faris had them made flat and light with great care, and it seems to me the safest and wisest way to handle them. Without these, they would not only come apart, but would arrive with the edges frayed to pieces.

I could not get into the Gym. to clean the Oqwa Pi panels. With a helper I went over all the other murals for both shows and hope care will be taken in packing, as to fingermarks and scratches. My helper, Harold West will know how to clean up the Oqwa Pi panels. Get him at 112 Palace Ave.

If I am needed, call me at 3991 Albuquerque, or wire c/o Mrs. Albert Simms, Los Poblanos Ranch, Albuquerque, and I will take the bus.
