Dear Dr. Schmitt: 
Enclosed find a typed copy of my diary of the trip this Spring. 
It is a refinement of the handwritten copy which I gave you previously. 
This copy will be a little easier for you to use, in writing your report. 
The freight arrived in fine shape and none of my insect specimens 
were damaged. You did a good job of packing those quart jars containing 
my mosquito reared associations, for they came through in beautiful shape. 
I have returned the Museum's copy of the bill of lading to the registrar's 
office. What disposal should I make of the insect collections which I 
do not expect to work on myself? If it is alright with you, I shall 
separate them into orders and bring them to the Museum at my first 
opportuni ty . 
Thank you for sending the kodachrome slides of the cave pictures. 
I was most sorry to hear about Tom Bowman's operation. I had heard from 
Amos that he was having some difficulty with his stomach. In comparison, 
my illness was a mere nothing. I have had no signs of difficulty since 
I recovered six weeks ago and my weight is holding at a steady 162 lbs. 
I shall look forward to seeing you this fall 
Sincerely yours.
