Dear Dr. Schmitt: 
I heard recently from Bruce and we were all most relieved 
to learn that his daughter’s accident was not as serious as it ml^t 
have been. 
Trust that you and lirs. Schmitt had a most enjoyable vacation 
after your return from the expedition, and look forwarh to hearing 
where you went and what you did. No doubt your hew camera must be 
fully mastered by nov/ and I’m sure you must have a fine set of ’photos. 
I hope you had luck with those which you took on the expedition. I 
was really quite satisfied with my own taken while on the ’’Freelance", 
considering the handicap of a new camera j there were several blanks hov/ever 
I line with Bmice’s letter, 1 am now sending' along those snapshots 
which you were interested in having. I thought the one I took of you 
and Desmond together could not have been better. I am sorry to report 
that the ■underwater pictures were a complete failure; I had a premonition 
that the water was too murky when they were taken. 
Carl Shuster sent along a copy of the Univ. of Delaware’s "Estuarine 
Bulletin", and I thought he high-spotted the trip very nicely in very 
little space. No doubt you have seen it. Carl tells me that the 
shelling picked up somewhat, after I had reluctantly to leave you all 
at Antigua. He did not say however what was taken, nor if the traps 
bore any fruit. , 
Finally got around to compiling a list of the Spanish proverbs. 
I have tried to include only those for which we do not seem to have 
English equivalents. Have sent a copy to Bruce and will also send 
one to each of the others. 
I am sorry to report that the Univ. of Havana has finally let 
all its faculty members go; for awhile they were retained at half salary.
