MEMORANDUM January 14, 1941, Mr. Wishard at the National Geographic Society after examination of my Costa Rican film says that the trouble is due to verichrome film. I should change to panchromatic film. Their men use Panatomic X. He also tells me that for their work they use only two filters K 2 and A. He recommends as a new camera the Zeiss Ikon Maximar B which takes a picture 3-V2" X 4-3/4".

The present picture is one that was published in his great work on the humriingbirds, and was issued in June, 1349* Tour husband un¬ doubtedly secured it soma time idien ho was abroad. Gould’s paintings are as valuable as Uiose of Audubon and while no doubt they are preserved in England, th^ are certainly much rarer than Audubon’s hejre in the Kev^ World. I have never iiandled an original by Gould before, though I have seen a number by Audubon. The painting is one that I shall treasure al¬ ways not only because it is by the famous English artist but because of its aissoclatlon with you and lir.

In my mail I find the copy of your introduction when I was your guest at the luncheon at the Rotary Club and thank you indeed for the remembrance. I shall treasure the statement in my papers. Please tell DoHa Amparo that the picture is now safe in my study and that I shall examine it a little later to see if I can find any clew to its definite identification. It will always be a pleasant remembrance to me of my visit in her friendly home. I find that eleven countries have already signed the convention for nature protection and it is e 3 q)ected that the others will affix signatures soon.

UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY ASTROPHYSICAL OBSERVATORY NATIONAL ZOOLOGICAL PARK ALL CORRESPONDENCE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO THE SECRETARY Dear Dr. Wetmore: Yoiir pleasant and interesting letter of November 8 is just received. I am glad, indeed, that you are having such a deli^tful and prosperous expedition. You can at least feel that you have eained some official courtesies after all the work you put upon the Latin American Congress last spring. Things are in usual condition here. The exhibit in the West Hall is getting on well and Mitman thinks it will be ready by the Regents meeting, Mr, Moore‘s sister. Miss Jennie, died after a veiy brief illness last Saturday. You will recall that she was the main stay up there at an the functions, and no.doubt she will be very much missed. I saw Mrs. Wetmore at the Bartsches on election night and danced with her. Stejneger was there and danced with everybody, as spry as he used to be. There was quite a little party, but the election was so one-sided that I went home fairly early. It turned out as one might expect, with the handicaps of the solid South, the new Federal eii?)loyees. and the re¬ lief rolls. Willkie has since made a broadcasted speech which is being very favorably noticed in the papers. SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Was/if/iyton, n^S.A.

Well, things are on pretty even keel and not mach news, Mrs, Abbot is now at home, but is very weak and veiy deaf, I have a nurse twelve hours a day for her. She sits up about a couple of hours. With kindest regards and best mshes. Dr, Alexander Wetmore, c/o American Consul, San Jose', Costa Rica, SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM I WASHINGTON. O. C. I November 7, 1940, Dr. Alexander Wetmorei o/o American Consul, San Juan, deSta Rica. Dear Dr. Wetmorej The election is over and looking out of my window I see throngs of people returning to work after lining the avenue to wit¬ ness the triumphal return of the President to •ttie White House. All employees were excused to welcome him. Dr, Bartsch asked me to forward the enclosed souvenir to you as indication that the annual feast at Plummers Island was duly ^celebrated by your friends and to tell you that they missed you. I out it down somewhat to facilitate mailing but did not out off any of the names. Sorry I had to mutilate it. The routine tasks of the office go on as usual. Mr. Perrygo writes enthusiastically about his collecting in Allendale, S.C., Mr. Setzler is busy with arrangements for Mr. Taylor's trip to Mexico, and the glass for the caribou case has now been installed. Exhibits for the Centenary are being assembled and placed on exhibition. We have had inquiry from the Rockefeller Foundation for a source for securing clinical thermometers such as you used in taking the body temperatures of birds. We were unable to tell them where you had the thermometers made but suggested that they get in touch with the Philadelphia Thermometer Company, Philadelphia, Pa., and also suggested that Mr, L. B. Clark ofoR. & 0. might supply them as a private matter. They were also told that if the matter was not urgent we would write you for the information explaining that you were at present in Costa Rica. •1 The lecture program of the National Geographic Society has just come to hand and looks interesting this year. ¥ Most of the leaves are off the trees now and the country is taking on that bleak, wintery look. The youngsters are looking for¬ ward to ice skating soon/ Best wdshes, Sincerely yours, Smithsonian Institution U. S. National Museum IfVashington, D. C. October 30 , 1940 Dr. Alexander Vi’etmore c/o American Counsel San Jose, Costa Rica Oear Alecs I was very glad to get your letter and Mrs. Pearson is keeping me advised of any notes she receives from you. I,hope your trip lAill be as satisfactory throughout as it has been this far. Vf . 1. Inquiry on the general appropriation bill of the Smithsonian Institution has about stopped* Keddy calls up occasionally but I think he has rather lost his edge. We also had several inquiries on the Cooperation Bills especially those re¬ lating to conservation. As yet there is absolutely no indication of budget attitude toward these appropriations, but I am not so certain nov/ that there Vy’ill be any drastic cut. Possibly the election may have a very considerable effect on this. r 2. The funds for cooperation are now transferred and set up in the books. The State Department asked for a progress report and a brief one was furnished them. You were, naturally, the star actor in this report. 3. The National Academy is working on the B^fcif^Colorado Island appropria¬ tion. It looks as if they nay request a deficiency, though I have advised Dr. Abbot an. or deficiency, barring a storm or earthquake, would hardly exist but that they should expend their efforts on preparing their estimate on a new appropriation with great care. The bill you know pnly authorizes an appropria¬ tion. The Budget Bureau inquired as to whether our conservation funds would be spent on Colorado Island and thereby make an appropriation for the Island unnecessary. They apparently got this from yotrtestimony on conservation. They were informed that any work we might of necessity do on the Island would have absolutely no relation to the plant' to be established there 'under the appropriation for BjiAlt* Colorado Island and even that expenditure of funds on the conservation experiment on the Island was still doubtful. 4. Vi'ork on the current change is going forward. It is expected that the elevator people will be in dxiring December. 5. Apparently work is about ready to begin on the catwalk as a lot of steel was dropped here yesterday. 6. Contract for the sewer has apparently been let to the American Engineer Company of Baltimore. After lengthy negotiations one of their engineers promised to report here today to go over the ground and indicate what space they want cleared. I shall pass the buck on this problem to the Secretaiy since his organizations are the ones affected. Alexander Wetmore - 2 - Qcl^ober 30, 1940 7. The problem relating to some paintings about which you had detected a more or less fishy odor is progressing according to schedule. The odor now more closely approximates that of a dead whale. The Secretary, Harry horsey, and Tolman are all in on it. Fortunately we caught the subject in its early stages and hope that it may be cleared up. i 8. A radio'through the Interior Department asks for directions for pre¬ paring South Pole specimens and indicated they were planning to abandon the equip¬ ment. 1 informed MacDonald that according to ny belief government equipment coiild not be abandoned and that he should radio our men to bring theirs back. Kellogg also prepared directions for preserving specimens. Since then we have had a radio through a Cjalifornia amateur direct from Brieri^and transmitted here by air mail. This'fellow offered to send a radio message of one hundred words without charge except for cost of postage. ?ve took advantage of this offer to send Br^ari*^an identifying list of the more important items of equipment^ and repeating that he should bring them back with him. It has been learned since that the other depart¬ ments are greatly agitated about their equipment. 9. Yesterday drawjrings were made for the Nation^sl Selective Training System and apparently there is a large government committee being appointed to consider possible deferments for people in the federal service, ivlcReyholds is going to head this, thank goodness, and 1 have been designated as Smithsonian representative. Vve have very few cases for deferment since most of our men for whom deferment would be requested are mrried and are this placed in the more satisfactory group No. 3 instead of 2, Occupational. 10.

I note what you say about No. 12 and dust shot and will arrange to bring a supply iA n^r outfit. This shot is sold here now in 25 pound bags. I believe that we have in stock 18 or 20 pounds of each. I am not quitei certain whether you wish a large quantity brought and will appreciate it if you will advise me. I have done some work in Guatemala but have never visited Costa Rica before so that naturally I looking fox*ward with keen interest to a brief glimpse of a country new to me. I hope indeed that Don Juvenal Valerio can be with me for part of the time at least as I met him here last spring and developed a very sincere liking for him. Please let me know idiat quantity of shot you wish me to bring down aside from what I expect to use in my own work. Sincerely yours. A. Wetmore, Assistant Secretary.

Somewhat unexpectedly now opportunity presents itself for such a visit and I am hoping to come this fall. According to present plan I will reach Puerto Limon on the United Fruit Line Steamer "Jamaica" oh October 11, and will be in the country until toward the end of November. I shall cone directly to San Jos6 and will get in touch with you at the National Museum. I have asked the State Department to inform your government of say proposed work, re-> (guesting entry through the customs'for my collecting equipment. I wish especially to discuss with you the question of the paleontological investigations concerning which we have had correspondence, and re^rding which you spoke in May. Perhaps we can corns to some better understanding of what it may be desirable to do in this regard. I wish also to see your Museum. As a primary object of iry trip I wish to make collections of birds for the U. S. National Museum in Guanacaste. We now have here in Washington abundant representation from the eastern and central part of Costa Rica but have nothing at all from the northwest. I hope to make arx^ngements to pro¬ ceed to the field within a few days after my arrival. I am looking forward to this opportunity to see something of the birds of your country in the field and to make collections. I realize that October and November are not the best months possible for field studies due to rains but unfortunately this is the cwily time that I have available this fall during which I can be absent from Washington. I believe, however, from previous experience in other parts of the American tropics that I shall be able to carry on the work that I plan. ■ , A .V >1^. *v- It will be most interesting to visit Costa Rica concerning v^ich I have heard so much from you and from other friends.

S. Dept, of State Washington, D. C. Dear Doctor IVetmore: We have just received advice from the United Fruit Company advising they have arranged the follow¬ ing accommodations: S. S. Veragua October ^th. New iork to Port Limon Single Cabin 11 with shower and toilet S. S. Jamaica November Port Limon to New York Single Cabin 11 with shower and toilet Round trip fare - New York to Port Limon and return: $315.00 U. S. Tax: 5-50 Cuban Tax: .50 They advise that owing to the limited transportation to Central America, the steaiaers have been sold to capacity. Whether this will be the saoie in October is hard to tell right now, but should the traffic be light, they might then be able to place you in a double cabin with bath and keep you alonj^ in one or both directions, this of course being contingent on booking conditions at that time. Such an arrangement would reduce jrour fare a little which, they are anxious to do everything in that respect. V 1 To be certain of single space With bath, they have reserved the above space, but with regard to changing you to double cabin with bath and keeping you alone, they would not A)e able to tell you if this can be done until about a week \ •' Dr. Alexander Wetmore, if2 8/2/40 previous to sailing, and would suggest you leave final completion of the booking until that time.
