Captain Hugh W. Randel, USAF (MC), 
Albrook Air Force Base, 
Canal Zone. 
Dear Captain Randel: 
The photographs with yours of 20 April are sincerely 
appreciated. The water tank certainly looks massive and 
impressive. I enjoyed our day on the Island and appreciated 
your company. 
My journey home was rapid and uneventful and I have 
been busy since my return with routine matters here in the 
office. Perrygo and I have extracted two botfly larva each, 
three of which are duly pickled for the Museum collections. 
I still harbor one that I am holding so that a physician friend 
of mine may get some motion pictures. However, I am getting 
a little tired of the creature as a boarder and plan to take him 
out some time soon. 
Please tell Mrs. Randel that I duly delivered the package 
to Miss Cochran in good condition. The collections from 
Panama are in, have been unpacked and I am busily checking 
preliminary identifications as other matters permit. I 
have already in plan my next year’s trip. 
Sincerely yours. 
hs 
A. Wetmore, 
Secretary.
