Dear Dr, Wetmore*. 
Receipt is acknowledged of two additional boxes 
containing birds and also two seals, which have just been 
unpacked and found in excellent condition. Tour radiogram 
of the 19th is also received and phoned to your wife. I 
saw Mrs, Wetmore, by the way, night before last and was glad 
to find her feeling very well, 
X am inclosing herewith your letter of authorization 
for the next fiscal year. I think it will be well for you 
to have it, although no allotment has been made for your use, 
and will not be made pending further developments. I assume 
that arrangements have been made to finance your trip all the 
way back to Washington. If any emergency should arise, of course, 
you will let us know. 
Very truly yours,
