Dr» Waldo L# Schmitt, 
United States National Museum, 
Yfeishington, D. C* 
Dear Dr* Schmitt: 
I note in your letter of November 29th that you 
expected very shortly a definite acceptance from Drs* Frasier 
and Mantner* Possibly there is a letter on the way telling me 
about them, but I have not received one as yet. If they are 
not available, do you have in mind a substitution? 
I have been giving the next to the last paragraph 
of your letter of that date considerable thought* This in 
connection with the trip last year* Please consider this letter 
very confidential* From memory, certain requirements were made 
by Dr* Wetmore as to specimens which were to go to your museum. 
Eowev'er, I understand that later practically none of the crabs 
were taken, although they were origirially provided to go to your 
institution* Does this paragraph more or less refer to specimens 
found on the last trip, and has the method of handling the crab 
specimens been, and is it at this time, entirely satisfactory 
to yourself and Dr* Wetmore. I rather feel that there is a 
cormection which might be justified betv/een this paragraph and 
your letters of last year* 
Yours very truly 
?rcS:H
