Smithsonian In^tution 
V/ashington, D.C, 
Dear Dr, Schmitt: 
Many thanks for your recent letter. There were 
no cine films sent; they are in one of my boxes and I 
will give them to you when I come down to remove such 
materials as are to be left in Washington, 
You will note that the 35nim films are in cannisters 
and not in bags, I removed them from the bags in which 
I had _originally pla ced them to facilitate packing. The 
labels to tlPre'se"~5ag's had numerical notations on them that 
referred to my records. Obviously it is now impossible 
to identify one roll or another. As I wrote in my last 
letter, however, the technicians through whom I work 
feel there is sufficient leeway in my exposures to allow 
normal processing. Therefore, will you please send the 
films to your laboratory and have them returned to me 
as soon as they are processed? 
I am enclosing the keys to my boxes and trunk. 
They are for use by the customs officials; I would appre- 
ciate that there be no unpacking by Smithsonian personnel 
until I can get down, since I know where everything is 
tucked away. Please call when you want me to be there, 
and I am sure I can get down without delay. 
It was a pleasant party, and very nice to see Mrs. 
Schmitt and you again, I was also relieved to hear that 
they had diagnosed the illness, and that the men were on 
the mend. By a curious coincidence, just the other day 
I was talking to a physician-specialist in histoplasmosis 
and he is going to send me a batch of papers on the 
disease, I thought you might like to see these when they 
come in, as might the men who contracted the disease, 
I hope the film processing will proceed smoothly 
now, Bruce was down to see us this weekend and wants 
(as of course I dol) very much to see the pictures. 
After I get them sorted out and cataloged, perhaps we can 
have a get-together at the Museum for a showing.
