% dear Mr. McConnaughcy* 
&•. Schmitt and party have returned happily and 
safely from our Society Islands Expedition, made possible 
and successful by your kindness in chartering to us your 
yacht, the “Kareva". Scientifically, the Institution 
has been well rewarded with the collections that they 
were able to secure in the several islands visited. 
With this I forward you our check for #1,600, which 
covers the balance of the charter price due you for the 
1*6 day i, at #100 per day, for which the ’’Kareva 3 was in 
use by our party (forenoon of April 3, through early ao ru- 
ing of lay 19). As you will recall, we already have 
mailed you a check for f 3 ,000, covering a month's advance 
payment on the n Mareva n charter. 
Tour making that vessel available to us for the 
period indicated was and is much appreciated by all 
“hands”. 
Very cordially yours, 
?®cl.
