We are sailing under a sort of roving commission, as it were. 
With perhaps a one-day stop in Miami, we head for Nassau, Bahamas. Cuba 
is mentioned after that, but as we shall call at Jamaica on the way home, 
1 would rather take in Cuba then, and go now from the Bahamas direct to 
Haiti, Hartford says we'll work out the cruise as we go along. Ban Juan, 
P.R. and St. Croix, however, are definitely in the books. 
I shall keep you posted right along by wireless as to our moves 
and intentions. As I wrote you, WORF is our call number, and if the 
Navy stations are instructed to forward any messages I send you from the 
Conrad we should have no difficulty in keeping in touch with one another. 
Palm leach is a delightful place, but Hartford regrets the 
delay as much as, if not more than, I do. 
We are getting our gear lined up, but cannot well do much 
spreading out until after Miami. We shall do our best to make up for 
all delays once our work is actually under way. 
Bob Lunz and Mr. Hartford, too, send regards. 
Sincerely, 
W. Schmitt. 
P.S. 
Dear Dr. Wetaore: 
Herewith is a draft of sorts, a suggestion, part of which could 
be used for a note in Science, the Museums Journal, and Explorers Club. 
One copy, too, should be send Mr. Chamberlain, of the Charleston Museum, 
for Mr. Nielson with the Charleston Courier. Henry might welcome it as 
a nucleus for a note in the Star. Mr. Hartford is perfectly willing 
to go along with any publicity of which you approve. 
Sincerely, 
W. Schmitt. 
Dear Dr. Wetmore: 
My letter herewith will be easier to read if typewritten. Miss 
McCain handles ray long-hand with very little difficulty and sould be 
glad to type the letter off for you. 
We are having grand weather. "Hoping you are have the same, *
