AIR LETTER January lit, 1957

Dear Jacks 
I shall not be able to tell you anything more 
definite about the things I asked of you in ray letter 
of January 9 until I hear from Mr, McConnaughey. Mean- 
while, I want to ask your advice about securing tax-free 
alcohol. Have you had any experience or have you any 
suggestions? I had thought of writing to the American 
Consul and also to the Museum in Papeete , Miss Natua, 
but thought it better to ask you first . What is the best 
lead? We would need a minimum of 50 gallons , and, by the 
way, what is the current price? 
Here is hoping that we can come to grips with you 
as skipper. Good luck. 
Sincerely, 
Waldo L. Schmitt
