Dear Matt & Marion: 
Yours of January 19 reached me in proper time and I have also 
seen your note to John Graf which arrived a few days ago. 1 can imagine 
that it is something of a relief to be out in the field after the strenuous 
time that you have been having. 
I will look forward to your findings at the site that you are now 
working. 1 can tell from the map in a general way where this is though 
I do not find Utive located. 
It looks now very definitely as though! will spend most of my time 
over in the Provinee of Panama instead oT ffifr Zone. If I have any time 
left over it will be used in reconnaissance. I particularly want to see 
the section that you examined on the Caribbean coast, and also to look 
up some other places for further work. What I dotffedlthe order in which 
I accomplish it will be governed somewhat by the rains. 
I now have the additional Regents meeting set up for a dinner on 
the evening of March 1. My reservations call for departure for Panama 
on Saturday, March 5, so that I should be in Balboa Monday morning. 
Zetek writes that the outfit is safe under his house awaiting our arrival. 
At the moment we have three inches of snow but fortunately the 
weather is clear and it is leading us fast. Deignan returned from Australia 
last week. 
With my kindest regards to Dick, I am 
Sincerely yours, 
A. Wetmore, 
Secretary.
