U.S.S. HOUSTON
c/o The Postmaster
Seattle, Washington

Dear Kelly:

when I was aboard the HOUSTON I used the Chief Quarter Master's binocular on several occasions. It was a most wonderfull glass, Zeiss, I believe. Can you give me the particulars about it? I want the Museum to order me a pair for my next trip, which s to take me to a lot of the south Pacific islands this next winter.

Don's hesitate to use the enclosed franked envelope, because my inquiry is strictly official business.

Sincerely,

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