Dr. Waldo L. Schmitt, 
Havana, Cuba. 
Dear Dr. Schmitt: 
Your radiogram announcing Havana as your next address 
is duly at hand. I am much pleased at the progress you 
have been making and look forward to the final collections 
when you return • 
Mr. Miller has been in Panama this spring but landed 
in New York Sunday on his return. He lost his father during 
his absence and v/ill have to take a few days at Peterboro, 
N.Y. to straighten out the affairs there. He expects to be 
there until the end of this week. He had better luck than you 
with porpoises as the last I heard he had 8 from the coast of 
Panama. 
Bob Bartlett was in the other day making plans for 
his next journey to Greenland. I have asked Mr. Shoemaker to 
look into the matter of a collecting outfit for him though 
apparently you will be back yourself before it is time to make 
shipment to the Morrisy. 
Spring is with us now in earnest with the leaves 
advancing rapidly though the weather 
cool. 
With my kindest regards, 
IP 
still remains pleasantly 
Sincerely yours. 
y 
A 
istant Secretary.
