The whole Gang. Hinton's negative - my paper	Barnes' "Harmonium closed. The box it is built into is very pretty dark wood. We never know just what woods are what around here. Even lumbermen can't tell you the names of some of the trees.	This is Barnes' "Harmonium" the thing I told you he bought for eighty rupees - approximately twenty-five bucks. You play it with one hand and pump it with the other. It is in effect a hand organ - and sounds like one. The keys are a shell like substance as is the plate above the keys with the air holes.
There is a patient that I worked on who draws quite well. He drew this of another patient and I photographed it. He drew one of me (all about 11" by 14") but I'm holding it until my camera comes to photograph it.	Alberta Hunter - Blues singer with U.S.O. Show HBinton's picture - my paper	I tried this enlargement. Not very good. Note Smitty in the background. Early February. U.S.O. They stopped here one day.
