Dear Commander Bailey? 
Your name is on our mailing list for tine various papers 
resulting from the Presidential Cruise. The enclosed one falls 
within another series, hut I know you will he interested, because it 
has additional pictures of the expedition. 
It was a grand cruise, one of the best that I have ever 
taken part in, and I, for one, am downright sorry that the President 
can't find time to make another long one of the same kind and per- 
haps over the same ground. Though Clipperton wasn't so much from a 
fisherman' a point of view, it is the one place I want to get hack to 
for several days' stay. 
Since your Alaskan cruise has been postponed so long, I 
wish that you might have stayed longer in Hew York, I didn't get 
back from South America in time to visit you while the ship was in 
lew York. 
My very best to you and yours and our mutual friends aboard. 
Sincerely, 
Waldo L. Schmitt, Curator, 
WLS : LMc Division of Marine Invertebrates.
