Gentlemen : 
The crated, black, telescope case, to 
which I referred in my letters of July 25 
and July 28, has arrived safely here in 
Washington. Please tell me if my bank 
draft sent you on the fortier date covers 
all outlined expenses with regard to it. 
l^is case seems to have been examined 
rather thoroughly scanewhere along the line. 
My only complaint is that idioever undertook 
that task cut one beautiful strap in three 
pieces and tdjolly removed the other. There 
was no excuse for that treatment of this 
shipment. The case was not locked and could 
easily be opened. 
However, I do thank you for all the 
attention you gave this shipment. 
Sincerely, 
Waldo L. Schmitt
