Dear Dr. Schraitt: 
I have a few minutes while my class is busy, and I 
tiiink I had better be more explicit than I was in the letter I sent this 
morning. They probably will catch the same ’plane. 
The equipment of blotters, ventilators, cloths and similar stuff 
for making mounts be supplied me by the Herbarium. For dredges and 
such heavy equipment I would have to deperd on the generosity of the roB- 
legists. I would not want much in the way o§ glass containers, and would 
oe able to bring what I needed, unless it should be perfectly convenient 
for you to send an extra chest of bottles aboard to loan me: I remember 
enviously the perfection of your arrangements. I would like to kno?/ what 
were the chances for setting up a drier on the style of that which I used 
attthe Dry Tortugas. It could best be opera.ted by electricity. If you 
think I could depend on it, I would like to know what voltage the ship car- 
ries,, so as to bring proper heating units. Or I could use kerosene,, if tiat 
were permitted. Please advise. Also if the invitation is forth-coming, 
advise when and how to ship equipment from here,, exact wharf address, &c. 
The University is expected to appropriate enough to pay trans- 
portation to the Coast; please suggest the amount of money I should have avail 
able to pay usual extras in port, aj:id that sort of thing, and also for any 
emergency. The only persons who have cognizance of the matter are the Presi- 
dent and the two Deaais concerned, the department Chairman and the Director of 
the Herbarium. They have all a|5)roved.
