TLS signed “R. E. B.,” two pages, 8 x 10.5, US Department of the Interior letterhead, January 14, 1942. Letter to Commander Robert A. J. English. In part: “I find some names on the chart that I do not understand. At least they are on the list of names I have. I would appreciate your explaining them to me. For example, I see the George Black Range. Who is George Black? It could not possibly be the Black that was with me in 1928. I see the Richard Black Coast. What is that? In fact, what are all the names on Sheet 2? I did not approve them, nor did the committee approve them, nor did anyone approve them in so far as I know. I recall that you absolutely refused to have your name on the coast, and yet I find your name on the list. I am glad to have your name on the chart, but I am puzzled to know what happened and do not understand why you did not explain it to me. Perhaps in my old age I have gotten paresis. I am not flying off the handle about this because I am sure there is some simple explanation. I will, however, await the solution of this mystery with much interest. I am taking the chart to the President as soon as it is finished, as he is interested in it. He is going to wonder why certain names are down there. As, for example, one gentleman in particular, who is persona non grata with him. I cannot imagine, however, that with this war going on the President can have much more than a minute on this chart.” A light uniform shade of toning and moderate creasing to the center of the second page, otherwise fine condition.
