D *r Dr. Schmitt: 
Your letter received, and viewed with great interests 
I wae not able to get proper connections with the full range of author- 
ities f or a few hours, but Professor Bartlett, department head, did that 
for me just now. If the invitation is presented, I will be able to go 
and a sufficient sum provided for at least most of my travel; the equip- 
ment and personal expenses I can, of course, easily arrange. 
Professor Bartlett asks me to say that he and the higher 
autnoritiee are very much pleased at the possibility of my going, and will 
f . 
be greatly dis^apointed if it cannot be accomplished. My own feelings 
' A 
are most enthusia^stic, and I am greatly obliged to you. We have, of course, 
drawn our own conclusions as to the auspices of the expedition
