Dear Qc*. Capart s 
Just a word to acknowledge your letter of April 26, 
It is hard for me to realize that more than a month has 
slipped since you wrote me and I received your communi- 
cation. 
It is certainly interesting to learn that you are 
going back to the Gpngo, this time to work the lower 
reaches of the river and the adjacent coast. There is 
much to be found there > and I regret that we did not have 
time to include it in our journeying. Chace says the 
marine fauna along that section of the West African coast 
is very little known, and we both hope that your explora- 
tions will take you some distance to the north and the 
south of the mouth of the Congo. 
There is no hurry about the exchanges of idiicb you 
speak. We have many so-called open exchanges >diich are 
“squared up" when there is time, opportunity, and material 
for so doing. 
Good luck to you and your joumeyings. 
I am sending this note to Or, Adam for forwarding to 
you with the next mail. 
Sincerely, 
%ildo L, Schmitt
