Dear Schmitt , 
As you know we expect to be in the 
Norfolk area from £1-27 April and in New York from 
about May 1st to 20th. I speak for all the officers 
on board when I write that 1 hope you and your family 
will come on board sometime during those periods to see 
the ship and have lunch or dinner. 
Fishing has been poor but I have put a 
few specimens away in the ice box. If you want them please 
let me know otherwise I will put them over the side - 1C 
Barracuda - 3'yfrigger fish. 
I have also collected a few small specimens 
which I have in alcohol - a baby octopus with about a two 
inch body an eight inch worm that came up on the anchor 
from fifteen fathoms off Orangetowm. 
Hope you had a pleasant trip « 
Sincerely, 
/&a2^
