Dear Mr* Dorseyi

Herewith I am forwarding Treasurers Check 6,061^698
for $355*^9 being reimbursement to me for e:qpenaea during
«y field viork in Costa Bica. This sum is to be credited
against the advance made to jm for tliis work by the Smithsonian
Institution*
f
I have rendered account previously for $126*63
making a total of $482*07 credit so that there is still due the
Smithsonian, according to cy figures, $517*93.
• f
As indicated to you earlier I am holding this sum
for further e^enditures in Colombia during ay coming trip*
Since the money ie now in Bbcpress Checks it does not seem desirable
to cash these now since this would require the expense of securing
additional checks*

Uy dear Friend Modesto:
#
Vihen I HAS in San Jose last fall you honored me by
asking for a photograph. I have pleasure In sending you a
recent one herewith that I hope my be fUseeptalxLe to you*
I hope some tiaw 1 may have one of yours in return to place
here in ;Qy study with likenesses of other friends*
_ 4
We have had a pleasant winter thus far in Washington
with only a moderate amount of cold weather* As it is now
past the middle of January we can oon^der that spring is not
too far away*
^noe ay rstum there have bean many matters here to
occupy me but I have found time to begin work on the collecti<m
of birds that 1 made in Quanacaste. Their final identification
has much of interest as they give ue data on the distribution
of geographic races that we have not had available previously*
It will be some time before I am finally finished with the Job
as 1 secured a good many different kinds*
' It seems probable now that I shall be able to get away
again in March for two laonths or so and expect this time to
take a trip into northern South America. Arrangements for this
are now under ccnsidcration. I .shall return some time in May.
Plaase tell Do&a AfiQ>aro that the huasdni^ird picture, by
Qould is now on the wall of ay dining room at home with a nuc^r
of other peiintings of birds by well known artists. I am very
proud of it and ay friends have had much interest in it.
With ay kindest regards, I am
Sincerely yours.
A* Wetmore,
Assistant Secretary.
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".

Dear Mr. Dorseyt
I am forwarding herewith an esqpense account for $126.68
covering items incurred during «y recent work in Costa Rica
that cannot be met under my letter of authorization for
governmental funds. I beg to ask. therefore* that this amount
be covered from the allotment of |l,0CX3 for travel in the field
under the program approved by the Secretary for the year con¬
cerned.
! ■ , 4
. • ; T ■
L':
I may explain that the expense in Panama covered a visit
to Barro Colorado Island to examine the biological laboratory
tt»re and the conditions under which it operates. The e 3 q)endlture
at Puerto Barrios, Guatemala covered a trip to examine the
archeological site at Quirigua which it has been important for
me to see.
T ■' 4 'L
The amount of this account should be credited against the
advance of $1^000 made to me by the Smithsonian Institution for
the field work in Costa Rica. My other accounts are now con^slete
and I shall eoqpect to adjust this entire matter soon.
Very truly yours.
A. Wetmore,
Assistant Secretary.

Miy doar Dona An^aro: '
This morning I took the hunmingblrd picture out
of its frame to examine it closely to find, a* I told you
might be the case, that it is a painting by the famous English
artist John Qould who wrote many beautiful books on birds years
ago, and illustrated them in color with his own paintings. 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. Zeledon* Tou have made mo very
happy with it.

Uy Journey home wae pleasant* We stopped for a day in
Puerto Barrioa to load bananas and then had a few hours in Havana
where friends took mo aroxmd for first view of that beautiful
city, I arrived in Hew York to find cold weather but after a day
of shivering was accustomed to it and now I do not mind. In fact I
rather enjoy the contrast when 1 first cams back with what I have
seen in the Tropics.
It was a delii^t to me to see you in San Josd and I shall
always remember the pleasant hours that I spent in your home* With

Dear Dr. Valerioj
My Journey home was pleasant and enjoyable
after telling you goodbye on the dock at Puerto Limon. Our
ship stopped brieilyin Puerto Barrios and again in Havana.
There I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Carlos de la Torre,
Dr. Abelardo Moreno and others of ray friends who are perhaps
knovrti to you tiirough their attendance at the Eighth American
Scientific Congress last May* I came to New York to find cold
weather but after a day was adjusted to the change,
I do not know how to thank you enough for your
kind attention to me during my pleasant Journey in your country.
I am deeply appreciative of all your help and shall treasure
always ray memories of our qpsociation. My collections are ex¬
cellent and I have many inteiwsting notes to print later. I
shall hope to have them in order for publication as a contribution
to ornithology in Costa Rica, I enjoyed especially my visits to
your National Museum and ray acquaintance with the men who are work¬
ing so actively with you to develop your work, I feel that I
have many friends now in San Josd^ with you as the foremost among
them,
I came to my office to find it necessary at once
to take up the work concerned with our annual appropriations for
next year. This has absorbed all of my time to the present, and
it is only now that I am taking up other matters,
I have had opportunity to make some inquiry about
the possibility of a grant for Seguia to enable him to come to
this country, I am happy to say that this matter seems to have
been favorably received and I am now preparing a memorandum re¬
garding it. It may be well, however, not to mention this at

On my return to Washin^on may I bo per¬
mitted to write to express to you my sincere appreciation
for the courtesies that I received during my recent visit ’
in Cuba, when I was able to stop there briefly while en-
route to Hew lork from Costa Rica*
t. ■ ,
I have to thank you especially for the
friendly greeting extended to me by the Introductor de
Embajadorea, Dr. Rodriguez )Capote“. I regretted indeed
that the hour of sailing of ny steamer did not permit time
for me to visit you that I might express this in person*

to return at some future time to your delightful country
that I may know more of it*

Dear Uodesto:
X Xi n a l ly reached Washington Xaet Monday after a
pleasant and uneventful voyage home. I return with many
pleasant memories of ny friends in Costa Rica, of my courteous
reception San JoaS and of my work in the field in Guanacaste.
Tou were all most kind to me.
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.
This is the most busy season of the year for me and
I am preparing now to go before a Congressional Conaaittee in
connection with our appropriations for next year. There are
mat\y other things to do.
nxtn Kinaest regaras
Sincerely yours,

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.

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.

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.

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. Garber is in New York picking airplanes fron the Arny exiiioit. He is
also looking into the problera of getting several snail exhibits for the engine<r^’n^
collections.
11. Bill Wannand N. Dorsey have been in touch wit^h the General Accounting
Office regarding bids on the Zoo restaurant and I think-fhey can work out a plan
which will be entirely satisfactory, to us. , .r,, .■
12. The site for the Cosiaos Club has been purchased ♦ It i^i the tiiree
eastern most lots of the group we were considering on HfStreet—to iiy way of
thinking by far the "best in the lot . The price v/as vl93^250 with over 19,000
feet of ground and 132 foot frontage. Plans are going forward and tae Advisory
Coniioittee nas already gone over one set of sketcned plans and indicated tneir
preferences on several basic ioatters. Tnere tiireatenedh to be a tecipest in a tea-^
pot over these plans but 1 tiiink every tning ims now be eh ironed out.
I
13- Piqi|®tt inf'orns me that due to the Captain on hi^ ship ne was forced;
to leave Cristobal a dav before vou arrived ho he was not able to meet vou as ne
had planned.
14. About a week ago the club had one of their round-ups in the natimre v
of a dinner in honor Qf past presiaents. Too bad you ^*|ere beaten out of a free
meal. It was very pleasant and since Robert O’Brian Toast^oaster you can well
imagine that everyone had a good time. j

15. The Third Monday of the Month Dinner for October is nc’A history.
Gam, Frank yisher, and yourself vvere absentees.
16. Faye and Mom xiiade a trip to Nevv York'last v^-eek by auto. They visited
some relatives of Moms there and apparently had a very good time. At least Mom did.
17. V\eather is about normal for this time of year except that we had about
a three inch snow on the 19th. which v^as. a bit out of line. Then a week later we
had a th^onder storm with plenty of lightning.
i
18. It. begins to appear that tiie repairs in the Main ilall of the S. I.
are going to rm above what I expected. Vvhile there is apparently an understanding
betv»feen you and the Secretary as to the siiaring of expenses, I am going to suggest
to him that the S. I. take over the oak doors in the ChiJ^dren^s Room. I tnink
these will run about six or seven hundred dollars.
Everything else is running very smoothly .
Very tr^oly yours.

Dr. A. Wetmore,
c/o American Consul,
San Jose, Costa Rica.
Dear Dr. Wetmore;
I hope that by this time Costa Rica has worn
itself out in giving you the official receptions. For
your sake I also hope that you have been able to get
out into the field to enable you to recuperate from the
heavy social duties.
•
I was extremely pleased to receive your wire
indicating that Taylor should go ahead with his plans
for the work in Coahuila. I Immediately wired Taylor
and he is prepared to resume his original program,
arriving in San Antonio, Texas, about the 15th of
November. He has also sent me a long list of supplies
udiich he will need, some of which I am planning to have
purchased by lir. Oliver and shipped from here to San
Antonio.
In his last letter he told me that Ivlrs. Taylor
had to undergo a minor operation for the removal of her
appendix. Betv/een the two of them, they seem to feel that
they own the second floor of the Norwalk Hospital. There
is, of course, one other slight complication that enters
into his program now, which had to do with the civilian
registration. I have talked the matter over with I<Ir.
Graf and will suggest to Taylor that he confer with
the local board at vdilch he registered and let them
decide as to whether he can leave the covintry at the
present time. If necessary, we could send a letter to
this board, informing them that Mr. Taylor would be
directing archeological work for the Institution.
Nevertheless, he v/lll have to abide by the decision of
his local board. Since he has a wife to support, I see
no reason why he could not be excused at least until
after July 1.

Washington Acadei^y had The three men
whose names were presen-^^^’ef^ejT E. Graf, N. M. Judd,
and Austin Clark. Curiously enough, even though Austin
Clark was on the Nominating Committee and present, he
received the lowest niomher of votes and therefore his
name will be presented for the election by the members,
I will tell you about the various details leading up to
this when you get back. I think you will be interested.
Most of o\ir efforts for the past couple of
weeks have been devoted to the preparation of labels
for the two alcove exhibits in the Smithsonian hall.
The Exhibition Committee has been meeting two afternoons
a week in order to get these lined up so that the
printer will not be flooded at the last minute.
As you probably realize, the two candidates
for the election on November 5 are making front page
news. It almost begins to look as if it might become
a toss-up.
Wedel and Leak are the only two men from my
Department who are now awaiting the posting of their
registration nxambers. I certainly hope that it will
be some time before either one will be called.
I hope that yoxir feathered friends will keep
you from wearing a stiff shirt too often, and that you
have an opportxuilty for collecting lots of new species,
at the same time getting the change which you deserve.
Sincerely yours.

4.—Danza de la Espada
Creada para dar una idea del espiritu he-
roico de los antiguos guerreros. Mas tarde
se convirtio en el baile predilecto de las

Muaica cortesana
La belleza idealizada del arte budista esta
encarnada en Bodhisattva, que es el nom¬

Se trata de dos de las mas populares can-

JUICIOS DE PRENSA
PARIS, FRANCIA
Sai Shoki, tan linda, inmediatamente se
gano la simpatia del publico por su belle-
za y su programa. Sin restriccion se aplaude
el arte de sus danzas. Una atmosfera de
exotica poesia la envuelve, un charme en-
cantador fluye de ella creando una sensa-
cion artistica que nunca se puede olvidar
el haber visto bailar a esta artista de tanto
talento.
^ “Excelsior”, 24 de junio 1939.
Con su mimica expresa los mas dife-
rentes caracteres y estados de animo con
una exquisita originalidad. Extraordinaria-
mente graciosa, fina y ligera, desenvuelve
una enorme inteligencia en sus actuaciones
y toda la concurrencia quedo encantada
durante todo el espectaculo.
“Le Matin”, 26 de junio 1939.
Con su linea escultural, la expresion
de sus maravillosas manos, sus mascaras
comicas y terrorificas, evoca Nirvanas, son-
risas, lagrimas y encantos. Era una vision
de la fantasia del Lejano Oriente.
“Le Figaro”, 6 de febrero 1939.
BELGICA
Sai Shoki es una gran belleza. Su cara
parece de nacar cuando baila, su expresion
de alegria juvenil, de horror tragico y de
todos los diferentes estados de animo, son
incomparables, evoca un encantamiento ja¬
mas sohado.
“Nation Beige”, 7 de febrero 1939.
HOLANDA
Esta plastica belleza llena de color de
Sai Shoki produce la mas grande impre-
sion, unica en su genero.
“Amsterdam Telegraaf , 18 abril 1939.
JAPON
Su primera presentacion probo que Sai
Shoki, con su Undo cuerpo de una mujer
japonesa de estos dias y con su vasto ta¬
lento coreografico no perjudicado por con-
vencion, es la bailarina representativa del
Japon moderno y la artista representativa
de las mujeres japonesas. . . En la Argen¬
tina, los bailes del pueblo han sido trans-
formados magnificamente en bailes para la
escena y Sai Shoki ha hecho lo mismo con
los bailes populares de la vieja Corea. Es-
tas creaciones suyas merecen una reco-
mendacion especial por el gran valor que
tienen sosteniendo la tradicion racial y na-
cional.
“Tokyo Nichi-Nichi” (Natsuya Mituyosui).
En medio de una popularidad extraor-
dinaria, Sai Shoki llego al punto culminante
del arte del baile oriental. Sus ultimos pro-
gramas probaron una vigorosa fuerza in-
ventiva y creadora... y en su variedad
nos ensehaban la originalidad poetica y el
encanto unico propios de Sai Shoki.

Enclosea you will find a letter of introduction to Tom
Harrington of San Jose, Costa Pica. I have written to Tom, Air Mail
today, advising him as to the date of your departure from New York,
I doubt if you will have the opportunity to use this
letter as Marta Harrington has written celina that they are meeting
the train you arrive on. From what I hear there will be a number of
leading citizens of San Jose down at the station to greet you when
you get off the train,
Celina joins me in very best wishes to you for a pleasant
and most successful! visit in Costa Rica.
Sincerely yours.

I am delighted indeed at your friaidly expression and at the
thought that I shall soon be seeing you in person. Plans for ny
trip are going forward and I am becoming increasingly desireus
of getting away. It has loig been my desire to visit Costa Rica;
in fact I had ti:K>ught at one time that such a trip might be my
first visit to the American Tzopics. Now all this is to come to
realisation. ' ,

I am deeply honored that the Ifonorable Don Luis
Demetrio Tinoco has delegated you to receive me anri i whnii
forward with keen antiolpatiwi to our meeting.
As I wz'ote you I wish to see the Ruseum of which you
are the able Director, and also to discuss with you the question
of the palewitological woxk. that we jiasntioned when you were here
in, Kashington last spring. .Then beyond this I hope to go into
the northern part of Quanacaste to make some collections of birds
for this Museum. Thanks to earlier work we have aiany specimens from
Costa Rica but none, from this area.
The time for ny departure is fast approaching and I
am anxious now to got away. Iiith ly kindest regards and best wishes,

Dear Mr. Underwood}
I have been pleased indeed to have yours of August
27 which reached me yesterday and shall look forward to meet¬
ing you in San Jos4.
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.

Uy dear Colleague:
^ .t •
As I told you Tniien you were here at the Eight American Scientific
Congress last spring, it has long been my desire to see something of
Costa Rica. 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. With my kindest regards
and best wishes, I am
Sincerely yours.

Kempton tells me that in Guanacaste the plant Icnown as
lo*.c\r\triw»'»-j^obi >
Job's-tears is cultivated extensively, the seed being ground and
shipped for food to Burma and other places in the far East. The
plant has the local name of ■adlay*.
Kempton is interested in getting some information on the
extent of this cultivation and whether or not the products are used
locally in Costa Rica; also when this cultivation may have begun.

I beg to advise that in October Dr. Alexander Vietmore.
Assistant Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, Head of the
United States national Museum, plans to visit Costa Rica for the
purpose (rf making collections of birds for the United States
Rational l&iseum, in the northwestern part of that country, and
to visit the Rational Uuseum in San Jos^. It is cwitcmplated
that he will be in Costa Rica for a period of about six weeks.
/ . ' ‘S '■
/ ' •
f . • . *
It T.'ill be much appreciated if request can be made
from the proper Costa Rican authorities for the courtesy of
customs aitry for his necessary collecting equipment. This will
include, in addition to other necessary supplies, two double
barrel 16 gauge shotguns for use in collecting birds, these
being Pox guns nuvibcre 302698 and 303?^ He will also have .
a single shot Stevens pistol, 32 caliber nutabor 45175 that has been
smooth bored for using shot shells. -His equipment will include
a supply of amraonitim for the above guns loaded with fine shot
for use in collecting birds. These will include a supply of 32
caliber shells, loaded with Mo..12 shot which are used in a special
charaber in the 16 gauge guns listed above. We are net oertafin
whether special permits fbr^the carr3'’ing of guns in collecting
birds is required in Costa Sica. We believe this can be ascertained
through the authoritiedithere.
< • r

Dr. Wetfflore expects to arrive at Port Linon on the
U^ted Fruit Line Steamer Jamaica about October 11, and will go
directly to San Jos^. He expects to make arrangements there for
field work in the northwestern section as the National Museum does
not have material from that region. Wo have direct contact with
the Uuseo Nacional in San Josd.
With appreciation of your attention, I am
Sincerely yours-

Tour coraiDunication of August "2 regarding reservation
for Port Liraon, Costa PJ.ca only came to hand yesterday
since the letter, through error, was sent to the State Depart-*
ment*
• li
I believe it will be desirable to correct the carbon
of this letter to the United States National Uuseum to avoid
any further confusion in further transactions over this
booking*

I note that you have a cabin for me leaving New York
on the S*S* Veragua, October 5 which is satisfactory* The
return booking, however, does not follow the request that I
made which was for a later., date computed on the basis of changed
sailings. On checking back now with the revised sailings I
find that a steamer ^ould leave Port Limon on Noveiidser 23,
1940* It will be appreciated if you will book return passage
for me on that date*

Dr. Alexander Wetiiiore
U. 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.
With kindest regards, I am
Very truly yours
