Dear Bill: 
Tour interesting letter of June 5 came through in good timejnd 
both Perrygo and I have enjoyed it. It has been good to hear fromt^Sorry 
about the truck but apparently that is just one of those things. I hope 
that the new engine has not been too badly damaged. 
In the last few days I have gotten some prints from my photographs 
and want to fulfill some promises that I made to send out a few pictures. 
I enclose four herewith marked for you which may interest you. Also I sent 
one of those showing you and Perrygo to Miss Patricia Conover thinking that 
she might like to see it. 
In addition to your pictures I am enclosing some others that I will 
appreciate your helping me in getting them to the people for ?<hom they are 
intended. I am sending them to you to make sure that they do reach the 
recipients as I know that pictures, particularly good ones, have a tendency to 
stick to 3ome fingers when they pass through them.* 
Briefly, in addition to those that are forwarded to you there are 
two each for Pop and for Slim. In addition to this there are two for Maria 
who cleaned up our quarters, 2 for old Gerontajo Sicaida and 2 for Geronimo's 
daughter Estevena. I am sure you remember her but if not you can identify 
her by her picture. 
There are also 2 for Armando Londono who wo iked with us during the 
fatter part of the collecting. I am enclosing 2 in color for Gilberto Mong, 
Chino, and also 3 of Indians that I want you to ask Chino to give to 
Ateliano who is the Indian wearin^|pajg.rt in two of the pictures. These I 
took at Ateliano's request and promised to send him prints. It is important 
that they get to him if possible since I am planning to get up to his country 
next year on another expedition if it is possible for me to get away. 
Naturally these pictures will help him to remember me. Chino can get them
