We left Panama, or rather the Zone, last Thursday and drove 
far as Santa Clara. he then started out early Friday morning 
larita, stopping in to see the Contes en route. they can’t 
understand why we don't dig their site, but I explained to the 
nihas that under the present laws, we couldn’t take any gold 
out nor could we give them any, so there would be no sense work¬ 
ing. That made sense to them after all. They asked me if I

he was m 
tested. Fulo 
was on hand to greet us, as well as the Dona Rosa and Fulo 1 s 
wife. They had told no one we were arriving, for some strange 
reason of their own. They had arranged for us to use the rooms 
under Fulo’s house, which we did. Fulo asked us for dinner at 
his house. ,e decided in the Zone not to take the movie to 
larita, as I had mentioned in various letters that we had the 
movie and could show it and they never made any reference to 
the movie. We thought there might be some complication on the 
matter of paying his brother to run it, hiring the hall, being 
sure that the people we wanted to see it could get in, that 
they might wan o i<o char S 3 0 J bi i -- i-i c,-g chine might be dirty, etc. 
Consequently it seemed best to leave the film with Zetek and 
take no chances. It proved wise, as we coild not possibly have 
rounded up our workmen in the afternoon. Many of them are now 
working in other places. 
Honarina is working in Chitre. Parcelina and her sister 
walked in from their finea when they heard we were in town. 
She especially inquired for you and Perrygo. otherwise, we 
saw the barber, Raul, Bernabe, Dimas and the Pinilla who owned 
one of the sites we worked last year. We also went over and 
called on the Senora Rafaela, who gave us a long discussion 
about how anxious she is to move from larita so her girls can 
find husbands. However, her husband won't move because they 
don’t have the means. Nora was graduating last Saturday from 
the Hormal in Santiago. If you and 1 errygo go to Junta Mala, 
you should stop in and say Hello. They world be glad to see 
you. Rafaela told us Leojoldo bought our old house. Now he 
lets his cattle run in the patio and it is very dirty. 
Fulo sold his liquor business in Chitre to his brother. 
Me has a little store on the corner next to his house. He is
