September 15, 1938 Mr. Jack Barron U.S.S. HOUSTON Long Beach, California Dear Jack: I trust that the pen reached you safely. This is my first chance to send you a few photographs. The little square ones are from negatives that I bought from Tommy Thompson. He also took the larger one for me, too. On the back of a couple I have written Balicki's name, probably misspelled. They ought to go to him. Please give to O'Neill those that carry his picture. If you want additional copies of any of them, please let me know. Either send the picture back or give me the number on the reverse. Sincerely, Waldo L. Schmitt, Curator, Division of Marine Invertebrates. WLS:LMc
