July 19. Most of specimens left on heater overnight were dry - the rest I dried by exposing to air or by laying them on the heater. Letter from Grace Dietz - answered. Also typed up reports or books read for the PBS science award + letter to secretary suggesting that this is the end. I only hope that a book or so isn't floating around in a bush plane or field camp. Talked to Hank Childs, who also went to Banks I., who brought back some moose, so it isn't as much of a desert as Mullen thought. Max Brewer in - we will go to Cape Thompson tomorrow, then to Banks I. via Eniwetok, Canada.
