Dear Marvinj 
That was a grand latter you v?rota and gives ae all the in- 
formation I have been locking for, sspsoially your present address. 
It’s too bad that you oouldn't get baok to Canoa Say where 
most of our tagging was done. It is really shocking to learn that w© 
fit out ths Russians but do not permit an American company to get into 
the game, especially as we almost must have the tagged crabs or else 
■m 7 fill have to repeat everything again and lose goodness knows how 
many years i I wish that some one would do a little fishing in Canoe 
Bay so that we might hop® for a few tag 
I am certainly anxious to see your report and shall urge 
its early publication because lAatever was ob^;ained in the way of 
measurements and first-hand observations on the crabs should be made 
aval labl® . 
Ho doubt you know by this time tlmt Roger has left the 
Service and is now with some fish oil concern on the w?sst coast. I 
am sure he will be bettering himself. He always knew wh?.t he minted 
biicl did produOQ results. 
All lue^: to your medical studies. I know you will -make as 
good a doctor as you were technologist and biologist. Your wlfa will 
be haopy to have you with liar for the next throe or four years, or 
whatever a course in medicine requires these days. Give her ay very 
best. Ml good wishes to you and hor. 
Sincerely, 
Waldo L. Schmitt, 
Head Curator, 
Department of Biology.
