Dear Mr. Schmitt: 
I thank you very much for your friendly letter and the 
great trouhle you have taken on account of the periodical ’’System 
on the Farm”. I have also received your psimphlet ’’The Ivlacruran, 
Anomuran and Stomatopod Crustaceans”, and have rejoiced to again 
see a sign of life from you. On the other hand, I have not received 
the pamphlets of Wilson, and it would be a pity if they were lost, 
Gan I also get from the Museum the works of Harring on Rotifera? 
He has described many new species which I would like to know. 
Miss de Franco has often inquired about you. She will 
unfortunately leave Puerto de la Paloma; or rather she is to take 
the direction of another school in Rocha, and remains there only 
until the end of the year. She will be very much pleased with the 
* 
Dottles and will send many of them back to you again filled. It 
would be well for you to send the bottles to the North American 
Gonsnl and not to the Fisheries Institute, for Mr. Bazzano is no 
longer director and the Institute has already gone all to pieces. 
Tremoler^s also will go away now, and does not work any more. Only 
the American Consul will receive the bottles without having to pay 
any duty. Sven the Institute of Fisheries must pay duty. When 
the American Consul gets the Dox, it will be an easy matter to send 
it to Miss Franco, 
It pleases me immensely to be able to greet you here again, 
if only for a short time. If you would only let me know at the right 
time by what steamer you will arrive here. 
Prof. Metcalf was friendly enough to send me the photograph 
which he has made of us. When you can, send me the photographs made by you 
I have sent some to Miss de Franco, 
With hearty greetings, yours sincerely. 
R. Thomsen.
