Dear Sir; 
In further reply to yours of June 21st beg to say 
that i 9 e are in receipt of letter from the Pacific Stetim Navigation 
Company, New York, sending us their sailings between t'hristobal and 
Valparaiso next month, as followvs; 
”Chile^ _ - ^ August 5 th 
” Guatemala’^ _ ^ 12th 
"Peru’’ " 28th 
The rate between Cristobal and Valparaiso is $218, 
They failed to send us one of their folders giving the 
rates between all ports on their line and advising the time between 
sailings from the different ports, but we have repeated our request 
today and will send folder, etc,, to you as soon as received. 
We are further advised they do not know of any services 
between Cristobal and La Guayra, in fact, they do not think there is 
any such service. 
They also state they have no sailings between Valparaiso 
and Buenos Aires through the Sticaits of Magellan, 
Our request for sailings, rates, etc., between Buenos 
Aires and New York have not yet come to hand wad we repeated our request 
yesterday. 
Very truly yours.
