Dear Dr. Scimitt: 
All of my bulky or expensive equig^ment is now in hand* 
The only item of consequence lacking is some ¥«’ax paper; if it should not 
arrive I could pick it up in Los Angeles. 
Today I received fonaal 
notification that some money toward train fare would be available. xuis 
w 
rould not have come unless formal permission to go was on tne way. 
I remember teo of your questions which I nave not answerea. 
I will take a 9 x 12 ca Voigtiander with fiim packs in place of cut film, all 
sealed up 'in tins. Also I will have a ^ x3t pocxet Kodak with tinned films. 
1 ¥;ill bring no 
Will have tripod, sets of auxiliary lenses and filters., 
equipment for developing, since I infer that it would be superfluous from what 
you write. I may bring some 5" x7" film (cut film) if Mr. Sivett has equipment 
of tiiat type* 
Your other question was about dredges. I will enjoy v¥nat 
^rou have. The little box dredges of the type which Captain Mills made lor 
use on the "Wton Dhor-h" »ere ideal for ay work, and I nope that you wiU nave 
sooietnins of that sort in duplicate. Big trawls are no more effective tnan 
the little things for my stuff. 
I will take two plankton nets for ipossibie fresh-water 
material, ana a little old microscope. Plenty of vials; a few bottles. 
All tne 
la* I am 
Ail the preserving cnemicals I need except formalin and aiconoi. 
stuff for mounting specimens except tne drying boa of which I wro* 
plaiining to leave here on the eighteenth and want to snip my stuff oefore 
that time. I hope that you can give me a definite sailing date before tnom
