Dear Dr. Wetxaore: 
March 26 , 1946. 
The enclosures are self exnlanatory. 
Your letter from the Canal Zone Biological Area came duly to 
hand; also the six rolls of film mentioned therein. 1 immediately telephoned 
Mr. wisherd giving him your instructions regarding them, and then sent the 
films to him by Tilghman. Mr. Wisherd telephoned the day before yesterday 
that they were about the best black and white photos that he has seen recently 
and that your color films also were very good. He said that you were to be 
congratulated on them and that you evidently have the knack of the camera well 
in hand. 
A letter from Mr. Carriker states that everything is going well with 
him and that the trip to San Sebastian was very successful, even beyond his 
hopes. He thinks he has some new birds. 
The Chief Justice writes ’’Just a line to report to you that the 
President responded favorably to my suggestion that a Smithsonian Institution 
stamp be published as part of the celebration of the anniversary. Some gentlemen 
from the Post Office Department have been to see me and have gotten such 
suggestions as I had to offer for a design and as soon as it is ready they will 
bring it to me and also to you." 
Mr. True says that he has reserved numbers from 1 to 7 in the 
Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections for the San Jose project articles. Six 
have been turned in to date which leaves space for one more. If more than one 
article is to follow he would like to knoxv so that space can be provided since 
they have enough articles on hand to finish the volume and don't want to break 
up the sequence of the San Jose articles. Please let us know. 
Dr. Snyder has returned your Checklist memorandum. 
Many interesting problems have turned up in your absence and Mr. 
Graf no doubt has informed you about some of them since he told me he was 
writing to you. (Fife secured your address through Mrs. Perrygol) However, 
I assume that you are very busy since none of us have heard from you since 
you left the C.Z.B.A., and so will not burden you with a few things that have 
been received in this office since temporary replies have been made and they 
can wait until your return. 
Today is the first day since your departure that I can see my 
way clear to take an afternoon off so Bert and I are having lunch together this 
(OVER)
