July 21, 1919



Mr. Earl Douglass,



Jensen, Utah



My dear Douglass:



I desire to acknowledge the receipt of your lines of July 7.  I trust you may succeed in getting the money no long held by Land Office at Vernal.



It has been very hot here and, as you say, we have had a good deal of rain, for which I am sure we ought to be grateful.  I am sorry to hear that you are suffering from lact of the same celestial commodity.



I am,

Yours very truly,

Director Carnegie Institute
