Very respectfully yours. Sept^Bber 26, 1988 Mr. ¥. P. Mams, Adams Brothers & Co., Odebolt, Iowa. Mj dear Mr. Adams: Your desire to visit Juan Fernandez reminds me of the very delightful time I spent there. I wish I could live my trip over again. However, the place is not equipped to care for tourists or visitors even over night. You wcRild find no acconjmodations that v»-ould strike you as cosafortahlo xmless you wore accustomed to South American conditions and customs. Judging from the nature of tho trip ttiat you will he m^ing, I would sufjgest that you time your visit so as to go with one of the Royal liail Steaia Packet Company's excursions, fhese take place once a year, either in Hovmher or February. Details regarding the next excursion are not obtainable in ifashington, but these could bo obtained in Hew York by addressing the affiliated company, the Pacific Steaia navigation Company at 26 Broadway, Hew York City. fhe Island is three huMred and seventy miles west of Talparaiso and the steamer trip, which occupies three days, allows you fifteen hours aolioro at Juan Fernandez, 'i’ho fare is about |;50 round trip from Falparaiso I would advise against the small schooner going to the Island, about which you specifically inquire. It is a strictly private vessel, used in the transportation of lobsters, and accommodations are very primitive and very limited. However, the teerican Consul in Talparaiso knows of my visit to Juan Fernandez, and can give you suck particulars as you may need to know right on the ground, but if you take my advice you will time your trip so as to meet up with the excursion steamer out of Valparaiso. With kind regards. Sincerely Wa .. Sclffiiitt Curate Marine Invertebrates John q. adams ROBERT B. Adams WILLIAM P. Adams ^rntlf^rs Sc FAIRVIEW FARM ODEBOLT. IOWA. September 20th, 1928 Mr. Waldo L.

C» Dear Sir: The writer and a friend are going to make a trip around the East s.nd west Coast of South America in November, and want very much to go from Valparaiso to the Island of Juan Fernandez, but seem unable to get any information whatever from the Steamship Companies regarding the vessels and manner of getting over, the accommodations when v.fe get there and on the vessel, and I am wondering if you would be good enough to give us some short detail as to who we go to in Valparaiso to find out about this small vessel going over to the Island, dates of sailing, and who we shall go to for board and lodging at the Island, and any other information you may see fit to give us I assure you we shall be deeply appreciative of.

I do not know for what purnose you seek a bit of it, bat I have a smll stick on ray desk, about six inches long and one- half inch thick, of wliich I will be glad to give you a couple of inches if that will serve your jmrpose. I hardly know where to toll you to vjrite for fiirther information, lou might write to tte Ministry of 'Igri cul t\ire at Santiago, Chile, about your desires, but I would not be too hopefiil regarding a favorable response.

The letter thrilled me by letting me know that we shall again have the pleasure to see you down this way; and we shall hope that your stay will not be so brief as to deprive us of the pleasure of having you pass some happy moments in the company of my family, and making you again enjoy those croquettes which pleased you so much. To that dish we could add one more in- digenous, — a roast of veal on the spit I! We hope that this time you will let us know the day and hour when you will arrive at Monte- video, so that we may greet you and be able to speak to you in Spanish, which I suppose you will speak very well. Our triend Mr. Davis we have had very sick; but now happily he is out of danger, and charges me to salute you in his name. With greetings from my daughters and myself I repeat that I am your friend.

IHiero are a few less than thi*ea htmdrad people on the island, poor folks who could not sTipport a doctor. 0thor?7isQ, I don^t believe the Chilean govcrnmoat would give the position to the citizen of another country, if they could ever bo persuaded to create such a position for so small n colony, llif experience in South American, coxintries has been that the;/ like to reserve the medical practise within any country for their own natives, and many of the Latin American republics liave laws to that effect, from which they kindly oxeraptod foreign physicians who were already established prior to the passage of the law. However, I am not in a position to tell you definitely |pat the prospects may or my not he. I would suf^ost that you wxute the Amarican Consul, Mr. Carl 'r. Deichman, at Valpai’aiso, Chile. Either he, or the American Ambassador at Santiago can tell you more definitely than I. It is of interest to me to know that yoicr wife’s name is spelled like my own. My forh^pfs came from Bavaria in Germany, and it may be if hers came from the' same place tfiat we might be distantly related . I Vifill say that the alight knowledge of the German language tJiat I Jiave stood me in good stead in traveling';; in South iriorica.

Pear Sir; I have read your article on the island of Jaun i’ernandez, it was a very interesting , and in it was a small item that interested me most, it was the fact that the island had no doctor but did have a very well equiped medical office and first aid station, now I have had nine years of just that kind of work and also a very good knowledge of dental work, I was doctor for over looo people down in iimerican Samoa for over nineteen months and my naval service will be up in June next year, and I am leaving the service and I though it might be possible to get the position of Health Officer for the people of this island, vvhat I would like to know is, can you give me any help in finding out just who to write to about this, I am married but have no children as yet, my wife’s name was Schmitt so I wont easley forget your's, if you can give me this information I am sure it will help me a great deal.

My dear I^r. Schmitt: I am very glad to have your letter of October 21, 1927, with which you v/ere good enough to send a pamphlet from the National Geographic Society. V/ith regard to photographs of Juan Fermandez, upon the receipt of your previous letter I sent you ten nega- tives, and a further search has brought forth five more v/hich might be of some use to you. Like almost all which I have already sent you, I doubt if these will be of tise to you, nevertheless I am pleased to have the op- portunity to be of service to you. While I made some thirty exposures most of them were uninteresting. I suppose you got a good one of the cave and the bronze plaque, and perhaps of the city. If so, I shall probably ask you to kindly let me have the negatives upon my next trip to V/ashington so that I can have some photographs made suitable for framing. I hope to be up there next June or July, and hope to see you at that time. V/ith all good wishes and trusting that I shall soon have the pleasure of seeing your article on the National Geographic, I am Very sincerely yours. y American Consular Service Anerican Consulate General, Callao - Lima, Peru, 4 October 9. 19 P6 -Dr. V/aldo L.

You should have a very good tine in the part of the world that you are going, and I quite envy you. Should you be able to get any of the animals that v/e spoke of, it would be very nice for the Zoo. You are going into the South Amerfcan ostrich country, and also probably vhere penguins live. If you could secure and ship to us any of these, they would be very valuable for our collection* Any size and any number of penguins, and any number of small rheas, would be exceedingly valuable to us. If you touch Ceara, call on Dr, Prajicisco Diaz de Rocha, who has a private museum there from which you might be able to obtain some of the materiel usefi^l to you. Reminding you again that anything that creeps or crawls is wanted by the Zoo, and also that we will be very glad to reimburse you for any e3!pense incurred in getting material, and wishing you a pleasant voyage.

SchmltL, Curator, Marine Invertebrates, Smithsonian, Institution, Washington, D. C, Dear Sir: For some time I have intended to write you in regard to a matter pertaining to the article you wrote in the National Geographic Magazine sometime ago on Juan Fernandez. I refer to the vegetation of this island, and particularly to your reference to the native palm, Juania, You state that you brought back seeds to try this palm in America, I would appreciate it very much indeed if you would advise me whether or not this ex- periment was a success, and if some of this fine palm are grov/ing in Washington at this time. I may say that I am very much interested in the palms, and have assembled a small collection of literature on them. You published some excellent photographs of the vegetation of the island, but none of the p41m referred to above. If you took any, would it be possible for me to obtain from you such a photograph or photographs, and not only of this plant, but of other phases of the vegetation of the is- land? I would like very much to get these, particularly of the ferns, after that of the palm. It occurs to me that a good many of the native plants of Juan Fernandez could be saved from the extinction that over- took one notable species by propagation in Florida, Haa any- thing along this line ever been done, and would there be any way of obtaining seeds from Senor Charpienter? Finally, would you advise me from what work of Skottsberg you took the quo- tation included in the discussion under the picture of the Charpienter gardens in the Geographic Magazine? Ima, January 18, 1928 Dear Doctor; ,'e all reioice greatly in your kind Dhriatmas and Dew Year's thouj?ht£ . o and f?ood wishes .le heartily recix^rocato the same and hope the new year v;ill he very happy and prosj^erous for you. ■/ith sincere reyarcis Doctor aldo T Schmidt Smithsonian J-nstitut ion, Yaohington, D. j EMBASSY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Lima, December 2, 1S27. Dr. Waldo L. Schmitt, Curator of Marine Invertebrates, Smithsonian Institution, U. S. Dationa.l Museum, ’Washington, D. C. Dear Doctor: Your letter v^ritten the same date that I sailed from Kew York has arrived end I was delighted to hear from you. Am sorry not to have seen you in Washington. I wa.s very much on the move while there and generally in a state of stress from interruptions and engagements. Most of the time I stopped at my own house at 1750 N Street and am sorry I w'as not there \men you called. I was at the Mayflower Hotel for a couple of deyr's just before le saving. 'When I get back to Washington, I hope to have an opportunity of having a visit with you and seeing your pictures and museura collections. I noticed the letter from Mr. Barreda in regard to my talk at the University Club. I spoke in English and did not use any w'ord with reference to Peruvian deportees capable of the translation in Spanish vmich I saw^ Of - 4 . Dr. ?/. L.S, course there is much to be said about that question as it has put the Peruvian nation in turmoil on various occasions, and I mill not go into it here. Hearty congratulations on the lasult of your South American v/ork, I feel tha^t you must have made some very interesting discoveries and have some very interesting- specimen in your collections. Vt’e etill remember very graphically your friendly visit with us here and I shall look forv;ard to seeing you when I get back and having a good visit. Thank you for your good -Klshes in the Senatorial campaign. If you have any friends out in the state of Washington, write them a letter. Nobody can tell wha.t an election mill turn out to be, but I think the prospects are fairly favorable. With best mashes.
