Tuesday PM.

My dear Sweetheart,

I am sending a list of furniture as given for the bids. The bids are being sent to Mr. Hall with the request that he send them to transfer companies. They are to be returned to Atlanta for opening. An award will be made to the successful bidder when bids are received at Washington. It seems not too early to start these.

We are getting office space in the Travis building #1010. It should be ready for occupancy on Saturday of this week. I am going out there, but I do not know how soon, to get things started and will come back to accompany you to Tex. If it is at all possible I’ll come home again before going out there. Things are happening so fast that I cannot tell.

Roberts had a satisfactory conference with Mr. Strong at Sacramento yesterday. We are getting started out there. R.A. will return by Phoenix Arizona (tomorrow) and Tucson Thursday. The bill is supposed to be signed about June 1 as Congress is expected to adjourn about that time.

Bruce is returning from a trip over the S.E. except S.C. He will go up there later. We have the Florida set up to work out in detail but I think we know it pretty well.

Claudelle received the large pictures of some negroes who had screw worm in the nose and she is trying to make them pretty.

With all my love,

Your
Walter

Sunday PM. 5/17.

My dear Sweetheart,

Regret very much that I could not come to Savannah this Sunday, so many things are crowding that I simply must get some of them decided upon while I can have a little quiet to do them. Mr. Townsend and I have been spending every day and evening on them and we can see some daylight but there are a lot of clouds yet. Mr. Rainwater left yesterday for Oklahoma (Dr. Bishopp had sent Laake up there on a report that 25 cases had been brought in from Mexico).

We did not get space in the Milam building, but are forced to the Travis building. It is not so good. R.A. will have to take bids for himself and he may get in some other building. For the time being he will quarter with us. Latest news is that the bill will be signed about June 1st. We hope to get the Texas men appointed by then. I’ll go out there ahead of Townsend & Mitchell. They will bring truck load of furniture from Atlanta. Some has been shipped from Savannah and is there now.

If I can possibly arrange it I’ll come home the latter part of this week. I need to go to Valdosta on business & perhaps I can get Dr. White to ride to Savannah with me.

With lots of love to the three of you.

Your
Walter.

P.S. I expect Walter White to be a real good boy and to take my place when I am not at home. The enclosed check is more significant than the last one.

Wednesday PM.

We are making some progress in the new set up, but we are over our heads in work yet. Gradually we are seeing some daylight. Cannot say whether I can come home & bring Dr. White. Will try to find out tomorrow. Dr. & Mrs. Brennan were here this AM en route to Penn. The fly trap catches are completed and Dr. Brennan will move to S A when they return about the 26th. Worked until midnight on forms. Cannot delegate this to anyone else because they differ with individuals & the others are not familiar with these men.

With love,
Walter.

Dear Ina,

Monday PM.

Arrived here about five o’clock. A real hot day for driving. I left a pair of white trousers on a hanger in our closet. Would you send these out & have them cleaned & pressed. My room at YMCA is 516. I have had the same number all of the time. Just in case you phone & can’t get me at office.

Walter.
