A.W. -2
I doubt if I can add anything to my former letter of instructions but shall leave future work, in case you are disappointed in getting another trip to the westward, largely to your own discretion. Akoutan Island, Unga and the west end of the Peninsula offer good collecting grounds, and if you are stranded at Unalaska you can probably put in your time to advantage to the eastward. As I stated before I am sure that under any circumstances you will do the best you can and no one can possibly do more.
Mr. Bailey was taken with a sudden attack of pneumonia but recovered and has now left Washington to recuperate.
We are having an exceptionally hot summer and your account of daily snow and hail produced a favorable impression on me and makes me wish I were summering in your neighborhood. At present the temperature on the Avenue is about 106 in the shade.
Give my kind regards to Mr. Bent.
With best wishes for your continued health and for favorable success, I remain
Very truly yours,
