Mr. Ratibor Hartmann, 
Gorgas Memorial Laboratory, 
Apartado 1252, 
Panama, R. P. 
Dear Ratibor: 
I hear that Dr. Hartman is now in Panama 
and I suppose that you are looking forward to getting 
away on some field work. 
I am planning to come down myself and hope to 
be there during the early part of February, but I 
am not certain at present as to the date. 
Mr. Perrygo will be with me and we hope at 
this time to go over on the Carribean coast to the 
west of Colon, probably about midway between that point and 
Bocas del Toro. I know that you are tied up, but 
as I wrote you earlier, I would like very much to 
have your brother with me. I am sure that he can 
have a good trip and that he would have opportunity 
for some good training in addition. I would pay him 
as I did Yaroslav last year. I hope that you will 
advise him regarding this, and I will let you know 
as soon as my plans for reaching Panama are 
certain. I will have to be around Balboa for a week 
or ten days before starting in the field trip, so that 
there will be plenty of time to wire your brother at 
Chiriqui for him to come down to Panama City. 
Mr. Perrygo and I are looking forward to the 
trip. We are bringing down this time an outboard 
motor which I know will be an advantage in traveling 
in the cayucos. 
Sincerely yours, 
A. Wetmore, 
Secretary.
