Dear Dr. Hartman; j 
Your prompt r^ly to my inquiry relative to your assist^ts 
in your recmt trip to Panama is received with much appreciation. 
With this in hand I can plan more definitely for my coming trip. 
I expect to return here by July 4th and will be very happy 
to see your specimens at any time after that. I note you are 
bo be north for the summer. I myself expect to spend . 
of October in California. If you wish to you may send the specimens 
on now and I will hold them here for identification r ng 
summer after I return. This is a matter for your own decision. 
You may care to arrange to have someone send thm on to me in au-y. 
I am rather looking forward to working in Panama at the 
beginning of the rainy season, the burning is then at an end 
and the wind lessens m viol®ic®. 
Sincerely yours. 
A. Wetoore

your work this season. Ihis will be of assistance to 
me in identifying your specimens and also vlll be a 
part of the record thalf.tiililding up on the travels 
of those who have workea with the birds of PanamA.
