Dear Dimples: 
I am glad to have the picture enclosed with your note of 
February 17. You did not need to send it for I remember you 
well and shall never forget you. Had quite a portrait this 
morning while we were shifting some boxes in the attic. We 
still have your several things there I think labeled and corded 
ready to send. However, there is no hurry about them. They 
are even safer than before because since you left we had a new 
roof put on that part of the building. But we can talk them 
over when I see you. I am afraid my time going will be rather 
limited, but I shall see you for a little while any way. We 
arrive on the MARIPOSA on the 29th for one brief day. There 
are four of us in the party,— Dr. Rehder, the shell man whom 
you will remember well; Mr. Cutress, a newcomer here, a gradu- 
ate of the University of Hawaii who works on sea anemones; 
Dr. Thomas Bowman, our copepod expert, and myself. We do want 
to glimpse the University and the Museum. Cutress has to com- 
plete his examination for his doctor* s degree, and that evening 
I suppose beginning with the cocktail hour (?) we are due at 
Mr. Ernest May’s house for dinner. He is the brother-in-law 
of Mr, Bredin who sponsored this Society Islands expedition. 
So far as I can see now, we have to eat lunch, and I 
would love to have you be my guest at that time. I shall give 
you a ring as soon as I can after the ship docks. 
Here's looking forward to seeing you again. Good luek and 
best wishes. 
Sincerely, 
Waldo L. Schmitt
