Dear Mr* Oehsert 
In response to your request of May 1st for articles to 
be published in the annual report, it occurs to me that you 
may be interested in an account of the recently completed 
Smithsonian-Bredin Expedition* Probably Dr* Schmitt should 
prepare this as the leader of the expedition, but -those of us 
who accompanied him may be able to contribute some sections 
and also photographs* I suggest -that you discuss tliis matter 
with Dr* Schmitt who is probably now in Washing-ton*
