PERSONAL

Mr. Donald Douglas, Sr. 
Douglas Aircarft [Aircraft] Company, Inc.
Santa Monica, California

Dear Doug:

I am anxious to know if your Operation Heartbeat was adequately covered by the permits which we had opportunity to secure and forward from here.  We hope that you ran into no friction whatever, and that your trip was enjoyable and successful.

With regard to the official communication received by Don on the eve of his departure, I am verbally advised that the Secretariat of Marine would appreciate some sort of report on the expedition.  There is no necessity for any great detail in this report.

Hoping to see you on the occasion of our next visit to California, and with more ardent hope that Peggy and you will find a way to visit us here, I remain, 

Sincerely,

E.R. Silliman
