A payment of $4,375 was issued in January 1960 for continuation of research, with the grant extended for an additional six-month period from January 1, 1960 to June 30, 1960. The final invoice of $9,750.00 was submitted in February 1960 for professional services. Documents confirm that work was proceeding satisfactorily under the initial project phase.
