Dear Mr. Gi1fillas:
The point eamples that you are trying to trace ware reseived
and analysed by ms. A report of the analyses of the first group of these
samples was sent via two separate secret teletypes through Bednarsey, Oaklend Army Air Base to Commander Marris, Bikini CTG 1.2, Badsafe, P.A.C.
One teletype was sent en September 13th and the ether on Septonber Srd, 1946.
It was not clear just where the second set of samples came from,
but thay were forwarded to ne by Dr. Eennsth Sectt at Berkeley. Five eopies

October 10th, 1946. One was retained for our files and the other four elassified as GECRET were sent through the Area Engineer at Berkeley to Dr. Kenneth
Seott. A letber accompanied the four copies instructing Dr. Seott to retain
eze for his files, transfer ene threugh the Manhattan Area Enginver to Capt.

Area Engineer fer his files.
