This will be the last instaULnient of this letter. I have just heard 
from Mrs. Schmitt that we can address you at the San Diego Zoo and I &m going 
to send this off. 
?\(e have had no inkling of what C.W.A. intends to do for us, but 
I have heard indirectly that we will not get any one again. It’s a rotten 
deal! Mrs. Croggon got another job in the Census. Miss Sappington got some 
part time work at Wilson Normal, and she went back to school. Howard and 
Rippey have been down, and Howq,rd is here now, finisliing up the. sorting of the 
geographic catalog. Miss Lucicett and Miss Friedman are also here today finishing 
the Crustacea cards. They certainly are a nice bunch of people. Miss Kerr and 
Miss Clark are going to finish the pasting job they were on, but Miss Kerr is 
sick now and Miss Clark hasn’t been able to get down tom because of the snow. 
Miss Kerr’s mother calls me every day to tell me that her daughter will come 
back as soon as she is well. Miss Boyle wanted to finish the cataloging, but 
I don’t 7/ant to let her. She is so poor at it that it is almost as easy for 
me to do it myself. 
A day or two after I got Carlgren’s manuscript on the Arctic actinians 
he wrote a saying that he is going to South Africa probably at the end of 
the summe^is therefore anxious to get his paper published as soon as possible. 
He said if we couldn’t publish it promptly he would like to have it returned, 
as he can have it published at once over there. I was sure that you would pre- 
fer to have it published here if possible, so I typed it off (and what a job!). 
Miss Rathbun is now going over it, and she is going to try submitting it to the 
Vfeshington Academy. I did the best I could with it, but his writing is diffic^jlt 
(worse than yours) and I am so unfamiliar with actinian terminology that I don’t 
icnow how good a job I did. The galley proof should go to him for correction. 
Gates wrote the other day and said he would like to see Olson’s ms. 
on the Marquesan worms. I suppose it is most unethical, but I sent it along 
and asked him to return it immediately. If any one can fill in the missing 
data that Mumford wants. Gates can do it. I dtill haven’t acknowledged Mum- 
ford’s three letters that came last Y/eek. He can cool his heels a while. 
I couldn’t get a copy of Edmondson’s book. It hasn’t reached Yfasliing- 
ton yet. 
Be sure to look up all your mail in San Diego. 
bincerely. 
Vile had 7-1/^: inches of snow Sunday and it hasn't started cieltiiig yet. 
iVlrs. ScVunitt says they ai'e snowed in out at your house.
