Dear Dr. Schmitt: 
I have just received your letter dated January 
27th, and would recommend that you ask Dr. Carmichael 
to extend an invitation to Dr, Cov/an to join the 
expedition. Also, I would certainly be in accord 
with any other individuals that you might want to 
Include. I doubt very much that Ernie May will be 
able to join the expedition, as he is leaving next 
week for Hawaii and will be there for some time. 
Why not ask Dr. Carmichael to join, us for a few 
days. I believe it v/ould be beneficial for him to 
see first hand just what we do. Also, I think he 
would receive a lot of pleasure being with the gang. 
My xisual best wishes to you.. 
Sincerely, 
I
