To Dr. Stejneger; 
Replying to Mr. Schmitt’s memorandiua of February 10, 
relative to his cooperating with the Carnegie Institution in connec- 
tion with the work at Tortugas .during the month of June, I beg to 
say that in compliance with your recommendation this detail is ap- 
proved. I think, however it should be impressed upon Mr. Schmitt 
that hereafter his entire time should be given to the Bacon Scholar- 
ship, except such as may be devoted to his work in the Museum. He, 
of course, understands that all of his expenses of evei*y chara.cter 
in connection with the Bacon Scholarship must be paid frorA that fund 
and not from the Museum appropriation. 
Very truly yours, 
Administrative Assistant 
to the Secretary.
