on with this undertaking [[strikethrough]] again [[/strikethrough]] during [[strikethrough]] this [[/strikethrough]] the fall and winter, and would ask that another allotment be made for the same purpose as before. What I plan to do [[insertion]] ^ this fall [[/insertion]] is to visit the Calvert Cliffs, Md., several [[strikethrough]] temp [[/strikethrough]] times (the trip costs from $1.25 to $1.75), the Nomini Cliffs, Va., once, [[strikethrough]] the [[/strikethrough]] Richmond & Kingsville, Va., once, and Salem & Shiloh, N.J., once. These are collecting trips.

[[insertion]] ^ and other material [[/insertion]] in the American Museum. [[strikethrough]] I estimate that [[/strikethrough]]

The expenditures would extend over from 4 to 6 months.

Yours very sincerely
