[[preprinted]] GOUCHER COLLEGE BALTIMORE, MARYLAND [[/preprinted]] February 15, 1924 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.
