Dear Dr. Lewis* 
It so happens that I am going to get a chance to 
go to Trinidad and work northward throtigh some of the 
Islands to St. Thomas, on a small schooner yacht. 
Regrettably, that particular cruise will not be taking 
in Barbados, On the other hand, I am extremely fortu- 
nate in that the ship that is taking us to Trinidad, the 
**ILE DE FRAMJE” is, for one day, stopping at Barbados, 
on Iferch 6, 7 AM to 7 PM. This should give us a few 
hours ashore, and certainly, I shall take advantage of the 
opportunity of calling on you at the ^llairs Institute, 
I have a few friends there to whom I would also hope to 
pay respects, however brief Roach, whose wife was 
a Miss Deane, and her brother, Mr, Deane, who, on occasion 
of w former visit to Barbados, was with one of the larger 
banks, I am sorry I do not have their first names on hard 
at this writing. 
With me will be traveling Dr. Fenner A. Chace of ttts 
Miseum, with whom you may have had some correspondence in 
the past, and Dr, Albert Smith, one of our national herbarium 
botanists. 
Here»s to seeing you if you are not otherwise engaged 
that day. I want to thank you again for the interest you 
displayed and the information you endeavored to secure for 
me regarding fire fly lamps. 
With kind regards. 
Sincerely, 
Waldo L. Schmitt
