Dear Dr. Kolbs

I am sending to you instructions to proceed to Southampton
in accordance with your letter of March 135th. My interpretation of
your letter is that you will ask further instructions at a later date.

I have just returned to my office after a visit to Greece
and find the usual pile of correspondence. I contemplate making the
trip of the British Isles as soon as possible after April the lst,
unless something now unforeseen occurs. This afternoon I have to go
to Cherbourg for a couple of days. When I return I shall make a
strenious effort to clear the desk and will be able to tell you more
definitely when I will be at Dublin.

I note that you wish to return to the States after your
three year tour of duty in Europe and I shall recommend accordingly.
I also note that you do not believe that it will be necessary to
replace you in the mental work.

It seems to me that the office assistant in Southampton
is unsatisfactory, since it appears that we cannot depend upon her
to make proper observations of the mental work she does among the
English. I suggest that you discuss with Dr. Halpin the question of
replacing her with a more competerit assistant.
