Dear Bill: 
Tour recent letter written from Albrook Field, has been 
muchappreeiated as it has lined me up on everything that was 
pending regarding Jaque. I was sorry to learn of the accident 
to the native and know, of course, that you had no blame in the 
matter. The boys were always taking chances in running to jump 
on the trucks to get a ride. 
Perrygo and I are making preliminary plans now for next 
winter, discussing outfit and the various things that we will 
need. We will bring more down with us this time since we will 
have to make a camp of our own up the river and so will need 
tent, cooking utensils, food and other items in addition to the 
collecting gear that we had last spring. I am going to write to 
Chino again in a few days just to let him know that we are planning 
definitely on coming. I am looking to Chino to help me out in 
organizing the necessary canoes and men for the up river trip. 
It is good to know that you have the other stripe now as it is 
certainly merited. 
Perrygo and I have begun work this early on our outfit since 
we will have to send it down by ocean freight and this takes a 
little time. 1 can arrange to have it stored in Balboa as I did 
last time at the headquarters of the Biological Laboratory where it 
will be safe. We expect to come across by air ourselves. Ocean 
freight has been tied up in the shipping strike until recently but 
that happily is now cleared up. If you see any of the boys remember 
me to them. I presume that you will be coming north before long, 
and we shall look forward to seeing you here in Washington. Perrygo 
joins me in regards. 
Sincerely yours.
