My telephone calls to the airport were evidently not delivered, as I learned there was no phone connection in the new barracks where evidently the young men, here for that short time, were located. Then I did write a note, but perhaps that was not in time for him to receive out there - as I had not realized the transfer was being made quite so soon.
Perhaps some day he will be down this way again - and so let us know, that we may make up a bit for this seeming neglect. With
