Dear Dr. Schmitt, 
I am sorry for answering so late your kind letters 
of July 25 and 27 . 
If you do not succeed in getting out from^ under the 
accumulated corespondence on your desk, I may as well tell you 
that I am not succeeding in getting out from under the 
accumulated conferences which are being held here since August. 
And there are more to come. 
Many thanks for furnishing our Library with a complete 
set of Smithsonian and National Museum publications. They will 
be most valuable for us. Mr. Dereine will arrange the question 
of shipping with Mrs. MacCarthy. 
Many thanks again for your kind help in this matter. 
I will be very pleased to hear from you againin the 
next future and hope that you will not forget your promise to 
keep in touch with us from time to time. 
Sincerely yours, 
Louis van den Berghe, 
Director .
