{\bf Further analysis requires determining a distance. We assume a rotation curve following \citet{1993A&A...275...67B} and adopt  the near kinematic distance of 4.4 kpc.} We then can use the mid-IR integrated fluxes for toward N117-3 as measured by Herschel/Hi-Gal to estimate the mass and mass accretion rate. The mid-IR fluxes can be fit using the same modified blackbody model described above, yielding as mass of 96 M$_\odot$. We can further roughly estimate the mass infall rate using: \begin{equation}  \dot M_{in} = 4 \pi R^2 v_{in} \rho\\
