New Guinea

Hello Ma:

      Nothing much happening here of any great interest. Everything running as peaceful and quiet as ever. Enclosed are a few pictures for the collection.

      I would, if it's possible to obtain any, like you to send me several large boxes of picture printing paper - grades #2 and #3. Paper to be used in developing pictures. Also, send me several cans of hypo crystals and developer powder. These two chemicals are used in the developing process. You can, I think, get them at the Hochschild Kohn company; that is, if there isn't a shortage due to the war. No particular hurry for these. See what you can do in your spare time or whenever you get around to it. I am at the present running low on such photographic materials.

      Well, that's all for now -

Earl

P.S. Like the new stationary? [Scroll below to see the letterhead. - Ed.]
