Dear Mr, Schmitt: 
We are pleased to enclose the tickets for the above 
accomraodations, together with baggage insurance and customs 
regulations pamphlets and a supply of baggage tags and 
labels. The tickets must be signed prior to embarkation. 
Inasmuch as your ship is a freighter and subject to 
cargo commitments, her sailing hour is not finally established 
\mtil a few days prior to departure. 
Accordingly, we advise you to contact our agent. The 
Robert L, Merwin Company, Prederiksted, St, Croix, V. I,, 
upon arrival, in order to receive the exact embarkation hour. 
We are enclosing passenger information forms which 
should be filled out by you and Mr, Chace in duplicate and 
forwarded to the Merwin Company at your earliest convenience. 
We are still unable to offer a berth in this sailing 
for Mr, Smith, however, should space become available, we 
will notify the Merwin Company immediately. 
Should you require any additional information, please 
call upon the Robert L, Merwin Company in St. Croix and they 
will be ®ore than happy to answer all questions.
