Dear Miss Horn: 
Relative to your letter of November 18, I find that 
Franklin Schmidt was employed as biolo6ical aide from 
Nay 31, 1930 to February 1, 1933. In March of 1933 he 
was temporarily employed in the same capacity; also from 
September 13, 1933 to October 31, 1933. 
While he co-operated with this department at various 
other periods, he was not directly on our payroll. How- 
ever, from lay 6, 1935 to August 3, 1935 he was working 
in the central nesting area under a project set up under 
FERA by this department.
