Dear Mr. Livingston: I have just returned to Houghton after having spent nine consecutive weeks in the field with groups of students majoring in mining engineering. The first order of business is to gratefully acknowledge the many courtesies which were extended by the operating personnels of the various places that were visitedo You and your staff did everything possible to make the trip well-worthwhile, and I want to thank you, and the others, most heartily for what was done for us. It was indeed a pleasure to have spent time with you and Mr. Murray. I hope that before long you will find time to pay us a visit at Houghton; then I'll take time off and show you about.
