Pensacola, Florida 
Dear Mr. Meyers 
I can hardly believe that so much time has elapsed since 
you wrote me from Pensacola, The chief trouble has been that I was 
in South America when, your letter arrived and I have just gotten 
around to the accumulated mall that awaited me on my return. 
From the one flight I made over the Galapagos I can well 
see your interest in aviation. It was the treat of a lifetime to 
see those scientifically famous islands from the air. 
I am sorry you can't help me to the picture of what was 
taken to be Cowan's grave, and I am writing Johnson to see if he 
can locate the man who took it for me. 
We are finally getting around to publishing some of the 
scientific results of the cruise. With this I am sending you a copy 
of a few notes th:t appeared in the so-called Smithsonian Explora- 
tions Pamphlet, and from our publications office I am having sent 
you the report on the new species of palm that we got on Cocos Is- 
land. A copy of that paper is going to each of those who accompanied 
m® on that hike up the mountain. 
I wish you all success with your flying and hope that one 
of these days we may meet again on another Pacific cruise. 
Sincerely
