Dear Ashford:

When I was at Moffett Field last week meeting with
SecNav, I had occasion to talk to Captain Colestock, who is now under
orders to the Pacific, I understend. Colestock made some mention of
@ possible schedule of the Constitution plane to make one weekly
round trip between Washington and Moffett Field. If you have a ten=
tative schedule of such flights, I would appreciate you forwarding
one to mee

My personal interest in the matter is in comection
with a . possible plane ride for my Midshipman son, James R. Rodgers,
Third Class, who will be looking for a ride to California over the
Christmas Holidays. Is there a possibility that some space might be
made available to midshipmen in case the Fleet Logistic Air Wing
intends to schedule a big plane about thet time?

I realize that the plane schedules must remain quite
fluid, but I would appreciate a note from you as to the likelihood
of transportation via Fleet Logistic Air Wing between Washington and
Moffett Field between mid-December and mid-January.

With kindest regards, I am

iral, Ue. Se Navy
