Dear Miss Paddy * 
We have now received a reply from Papeete regarding the additional 
payment which Mr* Waldo Schmitt and Party had to make* 
It. seems that there was a fare increase for the Journey from Papeete 
to Suva which waa not taken into account when the original tickets were issued 
end was therefore collected in Papeete c 
With regard to the question of the exchange of trench trance, TEAL 
inform us that they have no authority whatsoever over Currency Control or the 
method of payment of fares in the territory of French Folyneaia, This is entirely 
regulated, by official agencies of the French Government, in this case the 
Exchange Control Office with whose rulingB all passengers and all carrier* 
operating in the Colony are required to comply c 
We very much hope that the foregoing offers you an adequate explanation 
of this matter* 
With kindest regard*,, 
Yours very truly,
