Dear Dr. Mearns: 
I found the two scalpels and three pair of forceps which 
you left in my storeroom and have forwarded same to you by mail to day 
under separate cover care of Steamer Mauretania. The eleven packages 
containing your collecting outfit all left the Museum by the United 
States Express Company this afternoon at 2.30. 
Trusting all will roach you safely and hoping you will have 
a safe and successful trip, I beg to remain. 
Yours verv resnectfullv.
