Dear i)r. Fisher: 
1 have your letter of April 20, relative to LIT. Wetmore's visit 
to otinKing x>aAe. I hove not been to the lake this spring but 1 presume 
that conditions there are about the same as they have been in the past, 
and if so, 1 am quite sure that Mr. Wetmore will be welcome to stay in the 
cabin of the Gharaa Kod and Gun Club, which is on the hill just East and 
about the center of the lake. This will be the best location and if he 
will see some of the officers of the club, at Chama, Hew Mexico, 1 feel 
quite sure that he will be given a key to the building v/ith permission to 
» 
use the camp equipment there,- which is complete. If ho can get the bene- 
fit of the cabin, boats and other equipment there he would only have to 
furnish his bed and provisions. I suggest that he come to Ghana, New 
Mexico and he can get an automobile there to bring him to the lake, as well 
as all informtition about wliat he will need after he gets there, as most of 
the members of the club live at Gharaa. If he cannot get the club house it 
will be necessarj' for him to furnish tent and all camp equipment, as there 
are no ranches near the lake, -but as I have stated I can see no reason for 
the use of the house and furniture being refused him. He had better arrange 
to get his mail at El Vado, New Mexico, which is a logging town about 8 or 
10 railos East, on a rail road, 
Water is perhaps the most serious matter of consideration at the lake
