Dear Dr. Wetmore: 
It was good to hear that you had arrived safely and that arrange¬ 
ments at that time for work in the mountains had been about completed. The 
book that you asked to have sent to Mr. Rennie has gone forward. 
On receipt of the enclosed correspondence from Mr. Sutherland 
I telephoned him that you were in Panama. He asked, however, that I forward 
the papers to you. I am enclosing an envelope in which you can either return 
the papers to Mr* Sutherland or to me whichever you wish. Labels for either 
case are enclosed. 
A copy of the correspondence from Dr. Romer is self expanatory. 
As for the copy of the letter from Dr. Wright, I telephoned his 
office and talked with Miss Flynn, his secretary. She informed me that in 
your absence they would go ahead and use last year’s wording for engrossing 
the certificate. She said they would^ however, like to know as soon as possible 
whether or not you will be able to attend the dinner on April 24. 
A letter from Mr. Carriker arrived yesterday in which he states 
that “he supposes you are in Panama, and hopes that you have a successful 
season,” As usual the hunters he secures are not very good but the best to be 
had* However, at two pesos a day, without food - isn’t he expecting a lot! 
Mr. Slatterly of McNeil Motors personally delivered your new car 
last week* I have in my possession the title, registration and keys; the tags 
are on the car. 
You have a statement for professional services from Dr* Bloedorn 
in the amount of $38.00, Do you wish me to pay this or hold it for your return? 
There is a lot going on and mail in my department has been quite 
heavy. However, things are under control. 
We have had a lot of cold, rainy and dark days for the past two 
weeks which I supose have caused a lot of the sickness prevalent. Miss Hoemann 
and Miss Weiss are home with strep throats and flu. I have another cold, this 
one accompanied with terrible nausea, so that I had to give up and go home 
Friday about 3:00 o’clock. With Saturday and Sunday coming in I was able to 
rest and therefore be back at the office Monday. Although I still am not rid of 
the germ I am feeling better. Right now I am very much disgusted.
