Dear Mr. Swetts 
One letter would becoae too aucH of an epistle were I to put into 
it all I would nice to say in tliis sail, and besides this is of a more person- 
al nature* 
Finally I have gotten the strip of positive carrying a couple of the 
fish shots and some other things. This is being forwarded under separate 
cover. From it you can have a sixteen saa. print made by reduction and thrax 
reversed for use. The photograpi^ is perhaps not so good as I thought, but 
still the print you may make of the positive may be of some use to you. The 
other things are a few samples of tlie Galapagos shots I tried. They don’t 
amount to much either* 1 had expected the printer to cut out the weak or 
fogged spots^but he didji’t. In additi n to what you see, I have the following 
Galapagos scenes. A few of them may be better than what you see here} others 
not so good. If you want to borrow them 1*11 be glad to send thea on to you, 
for 1 * 3 ! not in a position to sake lauch use of thea now. Th^ are as follows. 
1. View of skiff landing party at Black Beach. 
2. Stopping to rest on road to Ritters. Group includes Mrs. 
Witfcaer and Harry. 
S. Ritter ringing his door bell, ^Ton plate on gate post. 
4. Gapt. Hancock conversing with Ritter and Dore. Mice view of 
mountain in baekgroxmd. 
5. Ritter and Dore operating the sugar cane press. 
6. Dore feeding the donkey. 
7. Implicate shot of Wittmer house like positive sent you. More 
of a "pan" shot. Shows old thatch house, too. 
8. Wittaer family standing outside their domrway. Corresponds to 
still of which I sent you a print. Is clear and shows mother 
trying to amuse the baby. 
9. Duplicate shot of Cobos and other inscriptions, as good or better 
than one printed. Could not tell from negative.
