[[Stamp]] UNITED STATES COAST GUARD 1790 SEMPER PARATUS [[/Stamp]] COAST GUARD SECTION BASE Two TREASURY DEPARTMENT UNITED STATES COAST GUARD Staten Island May 21, 1930 [[Margin]] Sword [[\Margin]] My dear Dr. Waugh, In regard to your questionairre the following is submitted:- I don't believe you will have any use for a sword unless you want to get it. So far as I can find out you don't actually have to have one, but if you want to stand quarters and [[?]] with the rest on board it would be well to have it. I don't imagine Capt. Jones will require you to attend drills. The current on the Northland is 110 volts, and if I remember rightly direct current.
