Mare Island Navy Yard
Mare Island, California

Dear Hoag:

Here is another little leaflet about the cruise, not a part of the series that I asked the publications office to send you.

I hope you don't think that I have forgotten you, because I shall always be very grateful to you for all the help you gave me in collecting, especially working on the gangway those long, late hours at night. There is nothing I would rather have than another cruise like that one to Clipperton and the Galapagos, with you along to help me. Don't fail to look me up if you ever come to Washington. 

My very best good wishes to you, lots of good luck. 

Sincerely,

Waldo L. Schmitt, Curator,
Division of Marine Invertebrates.
