Porto Pico. 
Dear 7/etmore: 
I have received your letters of June 7, 10, 
19, and July 5. During the greater part of June I was 
away from the office conducting field work in the south. 
I am interested in the map which you returned, as it 
shows that you are covering the Island pretty thoroughly. 
Did you secure any information in regard to the quail 
which Dr. Richmond alleges was introduced in the south- 
western part a number of years ago? I am glad to learn 
sEtasB that the excitement from the plague is dying down. 
If you should go to San Juan, you must take the greatest 
care not to get in close apposition with some bubonic flea. 
I trust that you have received all the supplies which you 
have asked for. 
With kind regards, 
Very truly yours, 
In Charge of Economic Imsqstlgations.
