Dr. Alexander Wetmore

Dear Wetmore: 
Just received your letter with credentials. Glad to have 
heard from you, and glad you expect soon to be here. Am also glad that you 
plan to go to El Valle de Anton. 
All of your boxes etc are under 0902. The drayage came to $16, and this 
can wait till you come. 
Lots of changes were made. They call it reorganization. Now, since you 
will come by plane to Tocumen, see the Canal Zone officials, and go to 
the Tivoli. If anyone wants to steer you to the El Panama or other Pa¬ 
nama hotel, you just say you are going to the Tivoli. You have two good 
reasons,- first, you are a US Gov’t employee, second, you have commissary 
privileges. They may even tell you that the Tivoli is closed,- it is, to 
them. 
Shall I reserve rooms at the Tivoli? Will do so as soon as we know just 
when you are doming, what plane, day etc. 
Hope the appropriations matters turn out better than you expect. 
I sent to Vorys two rolls of kodachrime motion film, they with the two 
tapirs, deer etc. Believe he will be glad to have them. He sent me a copy 
of the Itr to you wherein he insists on paying. 
with warm regards 
sincerely yours 
Zetek
