Dear Sir:- 
Yours of the Slst inet., duly received and notQ regard- 
ing your trip and desire to stop first at Venezuela, if possible. 
We coisraunicated with the ‘Red *’D’’ Line in New York who 
have sailings between New York and La Guayra and they have sent us a 
list of their sailings beginning vith July 2nd and up to and including 
Sept. 24th, which is enclosed. 
We requested bheni to inform us regarding sailings between 
La Gkiayra and Chrlstobal, Canal Zone, and they state they are unable to 
comply with our request. We know of no steamer service between the 
points n'uned. 
*-^^^<!hristoba,l steamers of the Peruvian Line, Chilian Line 
and Pacific Steam Navigation Company have frequent service to the vari- 
ous ports Oil the west coast of South America up to Valparaiso. 
We have written making inquiry relative to sailings and 
rates to these warlous ports and which we will sand to you as soon as 
received. 
We have also inquired as to whether there is a service be- 
tween Valparaiso through the Straits of Magellan to Buenos Ayers. From 
the latter port to New York the Lamport & Holt i^ine have rather frequent 
sailings, end the rates for passage tickets over that line will be re- 
quested, all information sent to you when received. 
Very truly yours,
