The grass mat is getting off to you this weekend. 
Perhaps it is expecting too much fpr it to be delivered 
before Monday. 
Ton will recall my reference in the previous letter 
to Hilton VJegefcrth and John Scripps. In a letter from 
the director of the San Biego Zoo is the following P. S. i 
"Milton Wegeforth saw your note and suggested 
that we wait until John Scripps returns and he 
might be interested . in bias elf , or could suggest a 
boat of toe right size. n 
Are we going too far in that direction, but whether 
or no, it might be worth while to hear what Mr. Scripps 
has to say? He is expected back in September. If he 
should go back down there, you sight en^oy his company and 
he yours should we be gc’tting aboard the same yacht. 
Have you net with any better success in inquiring of your 
acquaintances among yachtsmen 2 
So much for now. 
Sincerely , 
waldo L. Schmitt
