Dear Mr. Cass: 
I am very happy to have your letter of November 9, and 
appreciate Wesley Oakes* greetings and those of Captain Trafton, 
too. I shall never forget that grand cruise we had together while 
making that crab investigation. 
there surely is good future in canning king crabs. May 
you be successful in going into that field. It will probably in- 
volve some difficulties that you have not yet encountered in your 
processing of fruit and vegetables. 
I am asking the Fish and Wildlife Service to send you a 
copy of the report of the Investigation and hope that it reaches 
you in time. 
You should make the acquaintance of Dr. Harvey C. McMlllin, 
Seattle Pacific College, Seattle, Washington. He has had quite a 
bit of experience in putting up king crabs on Cook Inlet. There is 
also a young man who was a student of Harvey’s, Marvin Wallace by 
name who is working for Libby, McNeal & Libby. If Marvin is still 
around Seattle, it would pay you to have a talk with him. He was 
an important member of the Crab Investigation. 
Give my best to Wesley and Captain Trafton. They were 
grand shipmates. 
With my best good wishes to you. 
Sincerely, 
Waldo L. Schmitt, 
Head Curator, 
Department of Biology.
