Mr. Waldo L. Schmitt,
   Assistant, Bureau of Fisheries,
       Chignik Lagoon, Alaska.
Sir:
   The fishing season at this place having ended and your services no longer being required by this party, you are hereby directed to proceed to San Fransisco, California, taking passage hence by the ship Star of Alaska, of the Alaska Packers Association service.
   Upon arrival in San Francisco, call at once at the office of the Alaska Packers Association, where orders from the commander of the steamer Albatross regarding your further movements have been requested for you. In case no instructions from the Albatross are found here, you will endeavor to locate the vessel at the earliest opportunity and communicate with her commander by telegraph. In the meantime you should keep the Bureau informed of your whereabouts and movements, advising the office promptly of your arrival and any change of address.
   Your bill of expenses with the Alaska Packers Association will continue at the usual rate, of Three Dollars per day, from the date of last settlement, August 31, until your departure from the Star of Alaska, and should be settled in full, as one item of sub-voucher, at the San Francisco office of the company.
