Dear Dr. Schmitt: 
The delay in responding to your letters 
is due to the fact that my plans have been in an 
unsettled state. I am glad to hear that every- 
thing is getting organized and that you are in- 
cluding Dr. Daiber in the group. 
On the 6th of April I have a meeting at 
the University of Delaware which I feel I should 
attend and, consequently, I will not be able to 
join the group until around the 10th of April. 
Do you think this would be possible? 
Recently I have heard from John Finlay 
and I know that he is looking forward to being 
with you if it is possible for him to get away 
from Cuba. As you know, conditions are not getting 
any better there, and I feel as though John hesi- 
tates leaving his family in such troublesome times. 
Of course, I am interested in hearing from 
time to time how the plans for the Expedition are 
progressing . 
With my usual best wishes, I am, 
Sincerely, 
JBB/M
