Dear Zetek: 
The field outfit for Perrygo and me leaves tomorrow on 
the S/S “ANCON” on the Panama Line. I enclose herewith the 
usual lot of keys and also the detailed statement of what is in 
the various crates and boxes. 
We asked this time to have the material billed under two 
headings - “SCIENTIFIC FIELD EQUIPMENT” and “SUPPLIES 
AND AMMUNITION.” Probably, however, it will come through 
in detail since the Despatch Agent in New York made special^ 
request for the list after we had set up the information the other 
way. Perry and I decided to take down an outboard motor this 
time which increases the number of boxes but will save us some 
wear and tear in getting around in the cayucos. We have had an 
attachment rigged up that will allow us to fasten this on the side 
of any dug out. 
I haven’t the remotest idea at present as to when I can get 
away but should be able to plan this next week. It will depend on 
proceedings at the Regents Meeting and on how the Congressional 
Committees proceed to schedule their work. 
Yours of January 7 comes in this morning when I was about 
to send you a copy of Mr. Vorys 1 letter. I will see him Thursday 
evening and will then have an opportunity to talk with him. 
Sincgrely y^urs, 
A 
A. Wetmore,
