Dear Mi-, McOahenJ 
I find I have been negligent in acknowledging your 
kindness in retarning to us the bottom saaples that were 
in those boxes of soil sanplea that m shipped you on 
October 9. la® glad they turned up. The boxes in 
which they were packed were not clearly labeled when 
we shipped the® home fro® St, Croix. Her® is hoping 
that the samples I gathered may prove worth your while. 
Next spring we hope to have a sieall expedition 
down in the Society Islands working out fro® Tahiti. 
Should we continue to gather up soil samples in ouj' 
travels? I do not want to burden you with the®, bat I 
would like to turn up something that would be of some 
use to you and in a siider sense to »y client. 
Good luck to you and your undertakings. 
Sincerely, 
Waldo L. Schmitt 
Head Curator
