Stationery from the Hotel Bozeman, in Bozeman, MT.

Tuesday PM.

Dear Sweetheart,

Dr. Wakeland left a few minutes ago by bus for Bozeman and Dorward and I are staying here until tomorrow. We meet Wakeland there tomorrow PM. R.A. has been here and he seems to be very active in getting his work organized. In fact they are about through and we are just beginning. I am not going to Amarillo on the 7th but will return to Mpls from Denver and I expect to leave there the night of the 6th.

February 28, 1939

So far I have not seen Fred B but Dorward says that he saw him. Parker is cordial and we have had some good discussions on ‘hoppers, but no mention of Fred. Both the cricket project and mine proposed to change state supervisors for Montana. I made mine stick and I am using Westlake who served with us as a district man last year. The cricket project is keeping their state supervisor but under protest. So far I have gotten everything I asked Dr. Mills for, including Brumkow[?] to be in charge of the migratory area in the eastern part of the state.

The meeting at Bismark with Dr. Eversael and the College folks was satisfactory. We had dinner with the legislators and this did not get either of us anything except to become acquainted.

I am getting fed up on conferences so it was a relief for Gaddis to tell Wakeland that I was needed in Mpls badly and should return there from Denver. Wakeland has a careful approach and the ability to talk in a low voice for a long time. If endurance in conferences means anything he will come out OK.

With love to all of you,
Walter.
