I am writing to the brother of the new Col. Sec.y1 for a letter for F. B.2 & enclosing your letter. He is an F. E. S.3 — I think will sympathize. Jan Feb. 9th will suit me very well. I am expecting F. B. to stay over the night so that he can have parts of 2 days at least at work in the museum. I will discuss exact prices with him. Any mimetic material he sends will be published in his name.
