To the Friends and Correspondents
of the Smithsonian Institution.

The bearer of this letter, Dr. Waldo L. Schmitt, Curator of Marine Invertebrates in the U. S. National Museum, is visiting your country for the purpose of making a scientific study of the marine fauna of the region. His mission is a purely scientific one, the results of which will eventually be incorporated in a published report, and any courtesies or facilities that you may be able to extend to assist him in the prosecution of his studies will be very greatly appreciated by the Smithsonian Institution.

Very respectfully yours,

[[signed - A. Wetmore]]
Acting Secretary.
