Dr. A. Wetmore 
Auxiliary Airfield 
Jaque, Republic of panama 
Dear Doctor Wetmore: 
I received your letter and appreciate very much you letting me 
know how you are getting along down there. I found your letter most 
interesting, and it proves my contention that there are many tilings 
of interest about us at all times which we look at but never see, or 
if we do see them, we do not comprehend their portent. 
X am glad to hear that Sergeant McCarthy is taking care of you 
and 1 hope you will keep us informed as to any additional needs which 
you may have. 
With reference to the methyolate, atabrin, aspirin, etc., I have 
asked Major Crane, who is temporarily taking my place here, to get 
them down to you as soon as possible. The jeep situation is a little 
more difficult, inasmuch as the only means we have of getting it down 
there is by barge, which is not scheduled to leave for some time. 
As I mentioned in the preceding paragraph. Major Crane will be 
Acting Base Executive Officer, Albrook Field, inasmuch as I am leaving 
for temporary duty in the United States for the purpose of visiting 
my father who is quite seriously ill. I hope to be back here in about 
three weeks and will look forwarded? to seeing you before you leave. 
For your information, we have requested air transportation for you 
and Mr. perrygo to depart on 19 April 1946 . I feel sure that there 
will be no slip-ups in this, however, I have instructed Major Crane 
to follow through and keep you advised. 
With kindest regards, I am 
Sine erely, 
Addratv *11 contnwaication* to ‘‘COMMANDING OFFICER”' and not to individual writing tho letter.
