Bear Wetmore: 
I have received your letters of January 26, Febru- 
ary 1 and 7. I trust that the supplies which you asked for 
have reached you safely. 
You did perfectly right to go to El Yunque when 
you learned that a collector from Ca,rnegie Museum was doing 
work on the Island. 1 trust that you will be successful 
in securing the rare forms which inhabit tM s region. 1 
think it will be advisable not to communicate with the col- 
lector anymore than absolutely necessary. The specimens 
and stomachs have reached us in good order. 
You must take care of yourself and nip any attack 
of fever in the bud. 
V/ith kind regards,
