June 28th, 1918. Friday. C. O. Duntan and H. J. Edwards' f[or]ports arrived this morning. The one for Schuchert came two cre[eks?] earlier. It is a sad commentary on the ef[ficiency] of the State Department that it should take two to three weeks to make out f[or]ports after all the evidence me is asked to hand in to show that me is a citizen on a good journey. Even this afternoon before the Federal Court. Shipped tents and beds (six fa[ck]s?) yesterday afternoon on articles to Boston, where I will re-ceed to Newfoundand. Sent the following night letter to B. O. Lilly Curling, Reef: "Have f[or]ports. Write with two assistants evening July fourth, Polan Port. Have launch, two men, provisions and dishes for three meals, Polan Port on outside. Bringing two tents, three cots and bedding, folding stove. Will see you at Curling in two or three days." C.
