Friday Night.

My dear Sweetheart,

We found Wilmington quite friendly and it is difficult to turn them down on the location of the Lab. We left there yesterday afternoon and then I left Bish at Florence S.C. He had two stops to make relative to cotton work. He wanted me to go with him, but I convinced him that I should join Jimmie here.

Today, Jimmie and I have been getting some supplies for his use. Tomorrow we are going down to the Hotel Savannah-Oglethorpe for his work. I think the arrangement is very good down there for some good work and he seems to be enthusiastic about the work. They have offered us everything, to facilitate the studies.

As soon as Jimmie is located and things are lined up for him I expect to return to Dallas. I cannot say just when I’ll be able to leave.

At Charleston we did not find just what we wanted for Lab space, but we feel that we should locate there. We are going to take temporary Lab quarters in the Customs building until we can get what we want. It is not going to be an easy matter to get living quarters up there. Lots of places are vacant but they are not desirable. Will tell you more when I see you.

I love you, Honey, and I hope to see you before long. The $15 draft took the place of a check I had given Mother on the previous month. It had been deducted from the amount in the check stubs. Do not deduct it again in figuring your bank balance.

With love,

Your
Walter.
