Mystic, Connecticut 
Dear Captain Burnett: 
The insurance policy for the yacht, "Blue Goose, " forwarded 
to Dr. Schmitt has been reviewed by our attorney, and is now 
enclosed with this letter. 
Although it is assumed that under the omnibus clause contained 
in Section D of the insurance policy that the Smithsonian would be 
covered, it is recommended that the Smithsonian Institution be 
included as an additional assured 
1 am enclosing an Agreement covering operating expenses, etc. 
If the conditions outlined in the Agreement meet with your approval, 
please sign both the original and the carbon copy and return them to 
me for signature. A copy will be returned to you together with a 
check in the amount of $250. 00, to cover the purchase and installation 
of a radio telephone as agreed upon. 
With thanks for your attention to this matter. 
Sincerely yours. 
Leonard Carmichael 
Secretary
