Dear Bess & Dave:
       
 Received your letter of the 21st on our arrival from a field trip, certainly glad to hear from you, as I had about reached the conclusion you folks had forgotten everybody back east. 

       You will receive another Lycoming motor, if it has not already arrived. 

     The Government has clamped down on fabrics, and it requires a Priority release to get even a yard of it.  However, the Air Corps will try to get what we want.  I case they fail, Mr. Alexander told me the Indian Service had secured  a quantity from the Byrd Polar expedition, but I just called him and he stated the Army had it all.  I then called some friends in the Air Corps, and they are running down a clue, and possibly we may get some from them. Will let you know. 

 If you recall, it was arranged by you to have the exhaust ring laid aside, and that as soon as you arrived at Window Rock you would ask Mr. Fryer to issue a bill of lading, it would then be shipped and you would pay for it out of funds out there. Mr. Alexander remembers it as outlined, [[strikethrough]] m [[/strikethrough]] and therefore it is up to you. 

      Mr. Alexander stated that the battery arrived here, and he immediately shipped it to you, it should be there, let me know if you do not locate it. 

      I am very glad that you like the place, I do not see how it is possible for any red blooded man not to like the big country. 

      Everybody here joins me in wishing you the best of luck. If I can be any assistance at any time, please let me know. 
 
      You did not mention the dog, is he with you.

   Please keep me advised,

             Sincerely,
