Therefore, at Mr. Bryant's suggestion, I wrote to Mrs. Longley ray- 
self. I told her that in order for it not to seen that both she and we were 
trying to work over the Carnegie’* head, she should write a letter to Gilbert 
something to this effect! that it ms her husband’s wish that Dr. Hildebrand 
should finish the --manuscript , and that she should now like to be advised how 
to pack the specimens for shipment to the Museum for Dr. Hildebrand’s use. 
She replied today and said she thought ray advice had been wise. She had al- 
ready talked with Gilbert and inform# him of Dr. Dongle ;/* 3 wishes. Since 
then Dr.. Streeter jmsjrk went over to see her about the specimens mentioned in 
Myers letter. Streeter thought that all notes and rams, should go to Herriam. 
She says, *'*fe compromised finally by my consenting to send the finished part 
to Dr. Herrin® from whom Dr. Hildebrand could get it for reference, but after 
making a memorandum of the notes and unfinished part I shall send all of that 
directly to Dr. SshKWrt Hildebrand in Dr. Schmitt's care." Streeter told her 
he *a would send a man over to bring the fishes back. 
Sira. Longley wants to see you when you get back and wunts to know 
as soon as you get back when she may do so. I really felt like hopping on a 
train, and going over to Baltimore to see her myself and talking to her about 
it, after I saw flyers’ letter, but I guess, the thing will work cut. She 
apparently is determined that Hildebrand shall finish the paper, and she isn’t 
going to let the Carnegie people brow-beat her. 
I have, just called up Dr. Hildebrand and made a date to talk to fan® 
after I have; lunch with Mies Ca&le tomorrow. i8S± I’ll toll him about the 
Longley matter, and then I want him to tell me about Panama, 
Hummer seems to have arrived, Sunday the temperature was 93* i,n ®“ 
shirt weather.** It is still nice and warm, but not so hot. 
Mrs. Schmitt has probably written you about Fred’s visit. He all 
enjoyed it, and I think he did, too. He has not written since he got back. 
He was going to spend some time in Hew York, so hasn’t been back at Harvard 
long. I had him for dinner on his last night, and took Mm to my ixksAiw 
friends, the Logans, for the evening. We were supposed to play bridge, fckx 
but they got to chattering and spent the whole evening talking. He was 
leaving on a liOd a.ra. train. He hadn’t been able to get in touch with the 
McCulloch relatives until that day, so they cal led for him at the Logans’ 
at 11:00 and I did not have to sit up with him until his 1:00 o’clock train 
left. It suited me fine. Mr. Logan took no home and I pot to bed at a 
decent hour. 
Fred did not tell me, but Mrs. Clark did after he left, that they 
hope for a son and hair in June, which explains his wife's rushing back to 
California. He probably told Mrs. Hchraitt, too. 
The Garths were here April *)%h and 6th, the first of Fred's week 
here, 90 he saw them. Your wi r e did not entertain them; I don't think it 
was necessary at all. They asked Fred to go around with them a bit, but he 
seemed relieved bo be able to tell them he couldn't go. He told me afterward 
that he didn’t want to.
