D e ar Dr. V/e tmor e: 
Received a letter from Mr. Curtis saying that he had 
come down with you to get you started in La Jagua, etc. I 
hope that you are Perry don’t have too much company! It is 
a definite disadvantage at times to know too many people and 
to get publicity. "He feel like a sideshow up here. V/e have 
a spiel and exhibit but can’t charge admission. 
V/e are now planning to stop digging March 26. i'hen we 
will make a 3 or 4 day horseback trip up to the Costa Rican 
border to look at some sites we have heard about. On our 
return we will spend a few days in David and then go to Sona 
on April 3. We have written Juan firattacos asking him if he 
can guide us to a few places in Veraguas for 2 weeks. That 
will bring us back to the Zone About April 18th or 19th, 
giving Matt about 10 days there before we return to the States 
on the 29th. I hope we will make connections some place or 
other in lanama. 
You probably didn’t get to see General Kale before leaving 
the Zone. as he was away. I guess all my talking about you two 
flying up together was wishful thinking but it was a good idea 
if it could have been worked. Dick tho’t it would make good 
movies. Charlie (our cook) prefers to wait on prominent people 
rather than to get a good salary. We tho’t it wo ild be a good 
chance for you to look over this section of the country. 
i am going to write Dr. Zetek today to tell him that we 
will be sending a truck down with about 25 foot lockers. We 
can telegraph him the exact date so he can warn his help what 
to expect. 
We haven’t heard any details
