HENSON: So it was the major part of his job.

MANN: Of course, it didn't always work out that way. Mr. Marlatt would call then and say, "Mann, how soon can you leave for Haiti?" Bill would say, "Oh, I could leave tonight." [Laughter]

HENSON: Off he'd go. When did you first meet Dr. Graf? When you went to work there?

MANN: I suppose when I first went to work there.

HENSON: Did you get to know him fairly well or work closely with him?

MANN: No, I just used to see him around, and he was always very pleasant. Then after Bill and I were married, and after John and Dorothy Graf were married, we used to see a great deal of each other.

HENSON: Were they publishing, let's say, monographs that you would edit, scientific monographs, at that point?

MANN: I think so. I probably edited something that Johnnie wrote, but I don't remember it now. I remember a Dr. [Ernest Adna] Back, and he wrote something, and then there was Dr. [Altus Lucius] Quaintance, Dr. [Frank Hurlbut] Chittenden I knew--he was right in the next office to Mr. Currie's--and there was a chief clerk called O'Leary, I remember him very well.

HENSON: Did you ever know Harrison [Gray] Dyar?
