If there is anything in your letter that has not been an- 
swered, 1*11 respond to it when I tsnn it up, I shall be writing you 
soon again because we are getting more straightened out here every 
day and a couple of responsibilities I assumed over the past week 
will have been discharged by next Wednesday. 
liy best to all you folks* Don't forget Amina and those 
who were on the first cruise with me. 
Sincerely, 
Waldo L. Schmitt, Curator, 
WLStliic Division of Marine Invertebrates. 
I found your letter of the 17th, 
There is one more thing I intended to dictate for this 
letter this forenoon and that was the suggestion that if the informa- 
tion is not too confidential a resume of the Japanese vessels that 
had been reported by the Coast Guard from Alaskan waters could be 
included in your report. You will recall those tables that Woody 
Williams compiled in Washington and of which several copies were 
distributed among the outfit. You should have one and I believe 
Carl |tas another# I also have one here, and perhaps Fiedler at the 
Bureau. 
In order that Marvin may get proper credit for his material 
in the larger report, unless he specifically authors the chapter or 
section in which it appears, some mention could be made in the intro- 
duction to the whole account to the effect that where the Pacific 
Fisheries and Trading Company venture is mentioned in the text by 
name or date the infomstion is Wallace's. 
The specimens may be leaving tomorrow. They are all paoked 
and waiting for the approval of the shipping papers. 
Once again, my best to you all.
