Ben: Who else went with Charlie on the boat?
Al: Phillip [Blakey], Anthony, Chuck [Beikman], John and Mae went in, Lesther [Les Mathison] went in to the doctor, Mike [Touchette] went in to see about some parts for the caterpillar.
Ben: Okay it is good to keep us posted to where everybody is. I will start with some traffic, We would like a complete detailed report on the health of everybody there weekly, we should know about each individual and if they are having any medical difficulties
Al: Okay we will do that there has been nothing lately, Jeff [Carey] got back and he is in fine health, we found that Tim [Carter] had been going to a bad doctor and he went to another one and his sore back was diagnosed as a strained ligament but he is back here now and he is doing much better.
Ben: This is for Jim B. [Beam] and he is to ask Gene [Eugene Chaikin] about the availability of seeds there, the information we have is that you contact the curators office and also the minister of agriculture sources of seeds that are already there in the country, this seems to be the most practical way, and should be looked into thourghly. Also I wanted to ask Charlie what, if any parts of the sawmill were usable, it was mentioned that the hutch spring was, but I want his opinion of anything that is workable and since Joyce isn’t there have someone look and see what medical supplies were needed there and information they might need
Al: Okay I will relay those things.
Ben: I have some information on the direction finder I heard there was one left in Miami, does Jeff know about that?

Ben: This is Gene, any recommendations he might have in terms of paper work it should be completed while our missionaries are still here he could think about that and write us there is a set of standards procedure in order to get in the missionary program so if there are any papers we can take care of over here that might facilitate things we will try to arrange it for future trips.

Ben: Asks Jeff about the direction finder.
Jeff: I don’t know anything about it.
Ben: You it explained to me, do you know what I am talking about?

Ben: Okay if you have any suggestions in that area let us know. When we get a Marine Radio there are special frequencies and I don’t know harbor frequency in Georgetown if you could get those frequencies we could get a radio to match those frequencies otherwise I don’t know how we are going to do it.
Jeff: I understand and I will check into it. But I think you should talk to Charlie about this because this isn’t my area of responsibility we might not even need it.
Ben: Okay if you could relay that message to him and have him get it back to me. Also if you could get me the number of the Auto Pilot.
