Wednesday, Abril 1st will be a fine starting date, and I am writing to Captain Boudreau 
NOW TO CONFIRM THIS RESERVATION. FOR FIVE WEEKS, THE TOTAL FEE WOULD COME TO $5250.00 US. A . 
25i deposit is required, and this would 3E $1312.50. We would be pleased to receive this as SOON A 
AS uONVENIENT TO YOU, IN A CHEQUE MADE OUT TO V.E.B, NiCHOLSON AND SONS. 
The PORT OF embarkation is SET TO BE TRINIDAD, BUT HAVE YOU ANY IDEA WHERE YOU WOULD LIKE 
TO END? The ending DATE WOULD BE THE 6tH OF MaY , AS I FIGURE IT. 
Yes, YOU should be able to use the longline on the CARIBEE. She has a very powerful engine 
FOR .MANOEUVERABILTTY (SP?), BUT WE MAY NEED A FAIRLY CALM SEA. AS FAR AS I KNOW, THIS LONG-LINE 
IS uAblE, but ! SHALL *HEGK WITH RALPH ON THIS. WE WILL GET IT ABOARD CARIBEE BEFORE SHE GOES 
SOUTH TO Trinidad, so it will be all ready for you. i still have the mollusc traps, and they are 
IN GOOD condition. 30 IS THE DREDGE WITH THE TOOTH EDGE , ' WHI I CH i HAVE USED SOME. WE MAY HAVE TO 
BUY SOME MORE LINE, BUT THE EQUIPMENT ITSELF CAN ALL BE USED AGAIN. I WILL THINK ABOUT ANY OTHER 
EQUIPMENT THAT MIGHT BE USEFl'L, BUT THERE IS NO HURRY ON THIS, 
Enclosed is a bill of lading for the Bode box, #!2. 1 waited ages for a ship going to the 
States from here, but none came in, so ! decided to put it on a ship sailing to the States via 
South America. What a rouNd-about route, but it is the best 1 could do I It left on the I 0th of 
October, and will take about six weeks to get to N.Y.C. i am sending another coi^ of the Bilh 
OF Lading to Howard Fyfe. i am soPiRY there has been such a delay, but there just doesn't seem 
to be any DIREtT TRAFFIC FROM HERE TO THE U. S. Don’T WORRY ABOUT PAYING THE $2.50 B.WJ. - PAY 
IT BAfK TO US NEXT YEAR*. I CAN ADD IT TO THE EXPENSE OF GETTING EQUIPMENT FOR YOU, IF YOU WISH 
ME TO DO THIS. 
I SENT YOU A CABLE TODAY, WHICH I TRUST YOU HAVE RECEIVED AND MADE SENSE OF. DR. LuTHER R. 
WYNTER is THE NAME OF THE MAN WHO ASKED YOU TO LECTURE THAT EVENING. 
The copies of YOUR correspondence with Captain Boudreau has just arrived, and thank you very 
MUCH for sending it. It is very good of you to mention ABOUT WORKING THROUGH US, BUT I AM SURE 
THERE IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT ON THAT SCORE, FOR THE BOUDREAU'S RECOGNIZE THAT WE INTRODUGED 
YOU TO HIM, SO TO SPEAK. THEREFORE, IF THERE IS ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO CORRESPOND DIRECTLY 
TO HIM ABOUT, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO DO SO, FOR IT WOULD PROBABLY SAVE YOU TIME. 
i HOPE THIS COVERS EVSBY THING, AND AGAIN, 1 APOLOGIZE FOR THE LONG DELAY IN WRITING YOU. 
Yours as ever.
