My dear Mr. Schmitt:

It was very kind for you to send me a copy of your letter from MR. Gilbert acknowledging receipt of your application for the privilege of working at Tortugas next summer.

I am sorry you have to wait so long before knowing how matters will turn out.  I had thought that action might be taken at an earlier date than April 1.  However, we shall continue to hope that all may be well.

Cordially yours,
[[underlined]] ^[[W. H. Longley]] [[/underlined]]
