Dear Mr. Schmitt: 
I am acknowledging your letter of February 8th and 
confirm its contents have been passed on to our New York 
and San Juan office. In other words, everyone is informed 
about your wishes regarding the shipment of two boxes of 
equipment destined for Dominica. I’m sure there will be no 
difficulty in connection with the handling of this material. 
I’m still having trouble securing space for the third 
party on the RUNNER leaving St. Croix on April 21st, but 
our passenger department is hoping they will come up with 
something before too long.
