Your brief fiscal statement covering expenditures from 
July 1 to January 31 is noted. Your total allotment for the 
current fiscal year is $2400 for field expenses alone (this 
does no t your salary, which is otherwise provided for), 
and $4OO^Ts sTTl 1 held in reserve for your use in case it should 
"be needed. I wish you would cable me about May 1, when according 
to your plans you will probably have reached Valparaiso, Chile, 
advising me at that time of your probable needs, or of any part 
of the $400, if any, held in reserve that it would be prudent to 
release before your return. 
I am glad to know that you have seen Dr. Dabbene, and 
that you have met Mr. Bullock, who seemed well qualified to do some 
good work for us. Also that you are meeting others of prominence 
in scientific circles in that region. 
Your corrected manuscript was received along with your 
last letter. 
With best wishes for your continued success, I remain, 
Sincerely yours.
