San Pedro, California, 
December 15, 1938.

Dr. Waldo L. Schmitt
Smithsonian Institute
Washington, D.C.

Dear Dr. Schmitt,

Your very kind letter written shortly after your return to Washington was received in due course. The set of prints which you forwarded to me through Commander Bailey have also been received.

We were all delighted to have had you with us on the cruise and that you were able to get the material and information which you desired. In case the ship should visit New York I hope that you will come out to see me.

Very sincerely,
