Dear Mr. Schmitt:

I am acknowledging your letter of February 8th and confirm its contents have been passed on to our New York and San Juan office.  In other words, everyone is informed about your wishes regarding the shipment of two boxes of equipment destined for Dominica.  I'm sure there will be no difficulty in connection with handling of this material.

I'm still having trouble securing space for the third party on the RUNNER leaving St. Croix on April 21st, but our passenger department is hoping they will come up with something before too long.

Sincerely,
[[signed]] W. H. TRAUTH[[/signed]]
