TRAVEL—ANTIGUA 
Dear Dr. Schmitt, 
r am certainly glad to bo abje to write 
this letter, and I hope it will be a pleasant 
suiT)rise to you after my last one. 
Yesterday, we were informed that a ship 
bound for the U, S, was coming in in half an 
hour’fe time, IHie Agents here had special in- 
structions to notify us, so the Trinidad com- 
pany must have received my letter of complaint I 
Anyway, I immediately sent a truck to the Dock- 
yard for the boxes, and I am glad to say that 
this time they made it safely aboard. The 
ship sailed an hour ago, and we have sent off 
the bill of lading the the Agent in New York, 
I don’t know just when the ship is one to 
arrive, but at least the things are under way. 
There are a few extra charges: 
Tini eking charge from Dockyard 
less |6 charged you already , . |8,00 BWI 
Agents fee, documentation, lifter- 
age and porterage 9,55 
TOTAL IT. 53 BWI 
|17.53 is equal to $10.44 US, so if you could 
forward this amount whenever it is convenient, 
that should get us all squared away, 
I am sending you, under separate cover, some 
of the prints I made from the photographs I took 
on the trip. As I : told you, I was very disap- 
pointed in my negatives this time, but I hope 
these will be of some interest to you, T look 
forward to seeing yours, and the write-up of 
the expedition when it comes out. 
Yours as ever,
