RETURN TO LA PAZ. 



Having remained here seven week-s, I felt tiie necessity of 

 returning to La Paz in spite of the revolution. My kind 

 host refused to accept any pay for my board, promising to 

 make me a visit in the States, however, at his first oppor-

 are quiet ; otherwise a trip amongst them would be more 

 than hazardous. 



I forwarded a case of butterflies to you yesterday, some 

 4000, and trust they will reach you in good order.
