Hjr dear Hr. McConnaughey* 
Hr. Schmitt and party have returned happily and 
safely fro® our Society Islands 1 xpecition , 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 oar check for &j6Q0» which 
covers the balance of the charter price due you for the 
ii6 days, at #100 per day, for which the “Kareva* was in 
us© by our party (forenoon of April 3, through early morn- 
ing of May 19). As you will recall, we already have 
mailed you a check for $3,000, covering a month’s advance 
payment on the “Kareva* charter. 
Tour making that vessel available to us for the 
period indicated was and i® much appreciated by all 
“hands*. 
Very cordially yours, 
Fuel.
