es are 
At last we got the bird report mime< 
being forwarded to you under separate cower* 1 added an index for the 
benefit of those here who are interested* 1 hope I didn't make too many 
errors and that you don't mind my adding it* 
The report has been of interest to quite a few people* and more and 
more will be referring to it as its contents become known* It will* I am 
sure, contribute greatly to the interest in the birds of @an Jose* 
We certainly were pleased to have you visit us even though your stay 
was so short this time* I know that your observations during your two visits 
will be of value both to the Chemical Warfare Service and the men stationed 
here as well as to science itself* 
Our work here is going forward as we have now received seme more men* 
I shall probably be leaving in a couple of months* but there will be another 
Technical Director to carry cm the work* 
I am hoping to get a little vacation before I leave in order to take 
the family on a brief trip to Lima and perhaps over to Bogota* It may be 
more than we can manage with the children, but we are looking into it* I 
hope we can make it* 
* 
In a couple of months I may be ocoing through Washington* If X do* I 
shall drop in to say hello if you are in at the time* 
1 hope that your trip to Jaqpe was all that you desired and that the 
collecting was good* 
% very best regards to you and also to Mr* ferry go* 
Sincerely yours* 
Major, CHS 
Technical Director
