Herewith are two letters and personad data regarding Dr. Darsie 
received in today’s mail from Mr . Bredin without covering letter, 
as I had already had a long distance call telling me that Darsie had 
been invited. As you may know, Mr. Bredin seems to conduct most 
of his business by telephone, at least in my case. He told me some- 
time ago that he would be coming to Washington early in December 
with additional funds for the expedition expenses beyond what still 
remained in the Bredin Fund at the Institution. 
As I have no typing help , I try to hold writing to a minimum. 
That is why I went over to see you personally about this expedition 
and its plans , and personnel . 
Sincerely , 
(Signed) Waldo L. Schmitt 
[You know he is coming 
on the second of 
Decembe r . Thank you . ] 
Postscript follows: 
P .S. With this memorandum is also a carbon of the ms . that 
I have prepared for Mr. ©ehser. I would like to see it published 
at an earlier date than the next Annual Report. May I have your 
permission to try to find a publisher if possible? 
This is a still iincorrected draft and I would like to have it 
returned for a time at least, after you have had an opportunity to 
read it .
