Dear Dr. Schmitt: 
I have found a photo processing laboratory 
where my "off-color, greenish" shots can be color corrected, 
so I have ordered a set of the Anegada and Barbuda photos 
for you. Tomorrow I leave for Boy Scout camp for a week of 
nature counseloring, thf\^ to Baltimore for the annual Oyster 
Institute convention. It will be early in August before I 
can return the complete set of my photos (either the originals 
or duplicate replacements). 
We can purchase reprints o:c4he article in the 
Estuarine Bulletin at the rate of $155 per thousand. The art 
work indicated on the enclosed "dummy" will cost $10 more. If 
you yr/fslt reprints I hope your budget will permit you to order 
them (you can do so through us so that one order can be placed). 
Our small budget for extras ias been knocked into a cocked hat 
by the color duplicating and the color-correcting prodedure. 
By August I hope that the shipment from Antigua 
will have arrived as I would like to get the Mnderwater gear 
and get the specimens prepared for exhibiting. My public 
lecture on the Caribbean Expedition (next March) is in the 
Wilmington Library diagonally across the street from duPont 
Hotel. I am going to arrange to have an exhibit of sea shells, 
sea stars, and Crustacea set up that month. 
MYSID 
SHRIMP: you were right 1 The finer mesh plankton 
net was selectively not meant for mysids. On a series of tests 
in the past two weeks Hopkins found Jbhat the net he used for most 
of the study was good for mysids; the earlier low counts of mysids 
seems almost certain to be due to the finer mesh net. This is B 
going to be an interesting note to planktologists. 
The boys really appreciated your hospitality and 
gifts of booklets at the Museum, I am sure that they enjoyed the 
evening dinner visit at you home as much as I did. Remeinber me 
to Mrs. Schmitt. 
Sincerely, 
P.S, Please return Ihe reprin|; dummy as it is the only one I 
have to show ^he printer what I want. We are sending 20 copies 
of the Bulletin for your use, I have sent copies to Desmond, 
Finlay, and Bode. (We have a brand new < : typewriter in 
the office and it is not used to me yeti )
