Ancon, Canal Zone. 
Dear Don Pedros 
I was surprised recently to have a letter from Karl 
telling ms that he had come up for a moose hunt or some¬ 
thing of 'the kind, and that we might look for him here in 
Washington in November. It will do me good to see him again 
particularly since he' seems to be as mil of oe tin $ as ever # 
Captain Snell, aid® to General Hale, has teen cere a 
couple of times so that I am fairly up-to-date on the 
changes that are taking place in the service in the Canal 
Zone. Also, I have heard recently from R&tibor Hartmann 
who was with me at Chepo and is now working for Dr. Clark 
at the Gorges Laboratory. I want to keep in touch with him 
as I want to use him again in another field trip next year. 
John Graf, Assistant Secretary of the Smithsonian 
Institution and a regular fellow, is leaving tomorrow for 
the Zone and will be there probably for a couple of weeks. 
I have taken the liberty of giving him your address since 
I want aim to meet you. Better get him to take you over 
to Barro Colorado Island or some other trip. 
Everything goes on here about as usual with Panama 
frequently in my mind. 
With my kindest regards, I am 
Sincerely yours, 
hs 
A. Wetmore, 
Secretary.
