File: Curium

Dear Roger:
I am enclosing a list of George McFadden's personal belongings and of the contents of the house at Curium. Mr. Ewing has suggested that the list be marked, indicating whatever articles the Museum would like to have. I understand that the executives are willing to let us have whatever may be useful for the cleanup operation. If you would be so kind as to mark the lists and return them I shall see that they get back to Mr. Ewing and the executives.
Things are pretty slow around the Museum now and I am off next week for a couple of weeks of fishing. Both Fro and I will be here on Saturdays however through the summer. We wonder why we have not heard from Rodney for so long and would appreciate news of the progress of the work around the city gate.
When do you expect Ellen to be back? I had sort of figured on her being here by mid-August.
Give everyone our best.
As ever,
Alfred Kidder II Associate Director
