I do not wish to burden you personally with work in 
this matter, but I take for granted that you are able to get 
the assistance of sailors or others to prepare specimens of 
this character, you merely directing how the work shall be 
done. The results of the expedition will undoubtedly be 
very fine, and, as its leader, of course you will have the 
satisfaction and credit of having done a fine piece of work. 
Sincerely yours,
