e/o Postmaster 
Charleston, South Carolina 
Bear Johnson: 
I can't begin to thank you for remembering to send me the 
ills that 1 was anxious to be able to show next Thursday evening. It 
lias arrived safely and I as hoping to have a little private view of it 
before the lecture date. I shall try to have it back in your hands 
when the BOUSTOH puts back into port v#ith the President. I don't 
suppose you will be wanting it during the maneuvers. If so, and if 
it is possible for me to get it back to you, don't hesitate to radio 
at my expense, 
Sincerely, 
*CLS ; LMe 
Waldo L. Schmitt, Curator, 
Division of Marine Invertebrates.
