Dear Dr. Schmitt: 
I hope that by now you have received your specimens from 
Antigua, TJnfortionately, the tank that I had missed leaving the 
Island td.th the other specimens because of the usual. /Antiguan 
shipping problems. But I left the tank with Desmond and he 
assured me that he would see that you got it as soon as possible, 
I also hope that by now you have not given up all hope of 
ever receiving the technical notes on that tank full of specimens. 
I am in the process now of transcribing the notes so that they 
will at least appear to be written in English'- not Antiguan, 
I have also sent the Kodachrome slides that I proirn.sed you 
for reprinting. They should be back shortly, I am sorry that I 
did not get these things to you long before this date but, as 
you may know, we left Antigua rather hurriedly in an effort to 
get back for the opening of our new school, 
A combination of bad weather and strikes has delayed our 
construction program to the point where we are now operating a 
school with about 1,000 students that is not yet completed. 
We are also struggling to get the building program for our new, 
or second half, of our school under way. Construction shoifld 
start this month on buildings that will make it possible for us 
to receive another 1,000 students next September. 
Tou can expect a longer letter ^Tith more news and certain3:y 
some of your notes in the near future. 
Sincerely yours.
