Hy general impression is that it would be quite/ difficult to 
reach any inland region between the western slope of thel rBi yano country 
and the border of Costa lies, However, the Geodetic has established 
fitMH numerous ground stations throughout that area, f & £ they are all supplied 
by "drop missions" right from Albrook. Many of our 
time at these stations, and are familiar with the

We are expecting General Spaatz and some of his: c ld friends down 
here again this year in August, as they plan to try agalXj for a record 
black Marlin around the Per las Islands. General Eisenho4, er might possibly 
make the trip this year also. Meanwhile, I have been qui+, e busy with the

Mar j has been proudly displaying the pair of Colombian stirrups 
which you gave her. She now has them hanging on the walls of our living 
room, with a healthy growth of philodendron hanging from each of them. 
General Hale and we both would be interested in hearing from you 
occasionally throughout the coming year, as your time permits, and to be 
"posted" on your plans for your next season down here. 
It will be pleasant for us all to welcome you and Perry here at 
Albrook again, and of course the Stirlings as well. 
Marj joins me in extending our best regards. 
Sincerely,
