Dear Mr. Schmi tt : 
We have for acknowledgment your letter of August 29 
O h m 1 + -f P» n i I r-\ llTTr* \ / f~ C'A ‘ L— X. 
inquiring about the Darr Lines schooner "TE VEGA" service between 
Papeete and Honolulu. The most convenient sailing seems to be 
Voyage 10 which departs from Papeete April 7, arriving Honolulu 
April 21. We would be most happy to reserve space for your party of 
five people and it would be helpful to learn the names or at least 
if the group consists of all men or if some women are included as 
well as the type of accommodations preferred. 
The highlight of the Darr Lines service is the cruise to 
the outlying Islands of Moorea, Raiatea, Bora Bora, and Tahiti-iti 
and possibly you would wish to embark aboard "TE VEGA" March 23 and 
take the Island cruise prior to returning to Honolulu. 
We wish to apologize for the tardy reply to this letter 
inasmuch as it was held for Captain Darr to return to Hawaii last 
week and he has since turned the letter over to us. 
You will find a supply of brochures enclosed which fully 
describes our service. General Steamship Corporation in San Francisco 
is in a position to assign space, issue tickets, and complete your 
booking. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. 
Very truly yours 
THEO. H. DAVIES & CO., LTD
