Dear Ihr. Schmitts 
The No. 2 means that this is the second letter I have vsritten 
to this address. Hope you received the Aptil 26 one. First I shall 
quote two letters for you \diich came in today. It was requested toat 
this information be forwarded to you. 
From: R, R. Vlilliaras, Inc., Canaan, Litchfield County, Conn., dated 
May 2. "Dear Dr. Schmitt: It was certainly kind of you to write 
me as you did in your letter of Aj^ril 20th concerning WiSK-'N-PRI. 
I am delighted that you found our product so useful and I am sending 
you an additional supply for your own use. It was good of you to 
suggest that I get in touch with your friend Oscar Lagerstroem. 
Enclosed is a copy of my letter to him......" Signed, Ross R. Wns. 
Copy of enclosed letter to Mr. Oscar Lagerstroem, B.P.266,Bukavu, 
Belgian Congo and dated May 3. "Dear Mr. Lagerstroem: Dr. Waldo 
Schmitt has written me concerning your interest in WASH-'N-DRI. We 
agree with Dr. Scimjitt that this product should have a substantial 
market potential in your area. ^!e have, however, turned over foreign 
distribution to John L. Newkirk, Inc. - 630 Fifth Avenue, New York City. 
I am sending them a copy of this letter? asking them to send you 
samples, information and prices." Signed, Ross R. kfes. 
The letter to Lagerstroem was sent air mail so it should be there 
by now. 
Back to Museum business and proper spacing since I have more 
room. 
On May 2 I received a 3-3 A sq. , 1 inch thick box of kodachrome 
16 mm. film. From all post marks on it we believe it to have been 
sent directly from you to Rochester for developing with orders to return 
it here to be held for your return. It is being held, seal unbroken. 
That totals two boxes held here, apparently developed jand the material 
received in one shipment fTcrni diplomatic pouch all sent to Okie St. 
on April 29* I give you these details because I certainly want to handle 
it all properly and the arrival of these two separate boxes through the 
mail seems to mean that they are not to be checked by Mr. La Croix of Strauss. 
As soon as possible I hope to read your letters to C. & R, They 
have been pretty busy with all of them and have had no chance to let 
them go as yet. Do not worry. I am keeping complete records of the film. 
Summer has at last come with 90 predicted today. You are among the 
blessed. The various memos from Kellogg about fiscal reports have Just 
come in. Lybie Hyman received the Elliot Medal, I hear. Dr, M. J. Wells 
sent you some color slides from Napoli, Italy, I have written him. 
You have an amnouncement of wedding of Anne Fleming to Clyde Wilbur Kenyon 
(daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Stanley Truman Brooks of Bon Air, Va.),Apr. 16. 
No other news.
