My dear Dr Schmitt: 
, I will try to write english without looking on the dicjionnary and 
notwithstanding I hope you will be able to understand my slang. 
Two days after I had send you the maps and photograph, I have also 
sent you a letter under separate cover(of course, if two days later). You 
will find enclosed a coppy of that letter and also a copy of outline of 
the planed trip to eastern Bolivia. 
I was very pleased to knov/ that you arrived safely home, but regret 
that you could not go to Florida and that a revisiting to South America 
must be adjourned. I hope that for your next visit to Uruguay I’ll be 
able to offer you and your family two beautiful and comfortable rooms in 
my new home. It seams that finally, Gott sei Dank, every thing is going 
all right with me. The german painter in Buenos Aires has made a very 
fine picture to be presented to the Education Bureau of Uruguay with my 
proposal. The Deer picture you have seen here I have returned to him be- 
cause I deed not like it . He will now make it again. But a picture con- 
taining two species of our woodpeckers and anatomical details and nest 
is a very fine work and has been very much appreciated. If my proposal 
is accepted by the Bureau of Education (and I have hundred reasons to 
think it will be so), I will make a lot of money, some thousands dollars. 
Rich people, who at the same time are influent, are helping me in this 
matter. 
Next month I hope to move to my new home. I^ill send you at that 
time the new address and also a photograph of the "rancho "and the 600 me- 
ters ground I have bought. 
Referring to the parrots you should separate them, because if not 
so they will never make an attempt to speak, but will cry all the time 
over. One of the birds is a true savage and I think it will never speak. 
The other one is very tame and you can be sure that it will speak if se- 
parated from that savage who cries to much. The tame one, then, will no 
more cry. 
I was very pleased to know that you are just as enthusiastic about 
the Bolivian trip as ever. My friend Schweizer is anxious to know some- 
thing about that matter and he hopes that you will be now in position 
to approach the proper parties in connection with the expedition. 
With my best greetings to you and yours, I remain 
Sineerely ,
