Dear Ifr. Seaman I 
I have been wanting to write yon ever since return from 
St. Croix. I did enjoy your visit, and I m sure profited by 
the various observations that you re-counted, I am sorry that 
our time vas so limited that I did not get out to see you at 
your station for I was most anxious to get hold of those blind 
fish that you found in the cave on Barbuda, I can assure you 
that prompt identification and a description if they prove 
unusual or new will be forthcoming. Can you send thaa to me 
through official channels at your early convenience? We are 
trying to get all of our West Indian cruise aaaterial worked up. 
Did you see Mr, Ashbrook when he passed through some weeks 
ago? He was on his way to a vacation in the Barbados. He is 
looking for a sunny spot to which to retire as he is grievously 
plagued with arthritis. 
Don’t fail to look us up when you next come to town* Hr. 
Chace and I would be very happy to have you as our guest for 
lunch. 
With all good wishes to you and yours. 
Sincerely, 
Waldo L. Schmitt
