San Juan, Porto Rico. 
Dear Wetmore; 
Your letters of August 4 and 11 were duly 
received. The writing paper and twine go to you by 
this mail. 
I am very glad that you secured the specimen 
of Aramus , because, as you say, the bird must be very 
rare in Porto Rico. 
As you may need the money in returning home. 
we are sending your pay check for August to your address 
in San Juan. I hope that your trip to, the southwestern 
part of the island will be a profitable one. 
With best wishes. 
Very truly yours. 
In Charge of Economrc Investigations.
