1 wish to express especially my appreciation to 
L,t. Gol. M. E. Potter, of your office, who was most interested 
and attentive and gave me every possible assistance relative to 
my arrangements, both at Albrook and during the period that I 
was in the field. 
I am greatly indebted also to the men operating 
the large crash boats, for their efficient assistance in handling 
gear in and out of our cayucos at Chiman, and on the dock at 
Balboa. This is a fine group of well trained and active men. 
Our quarters in the Officers’ Club at Albrook 
during our stay before and after our expedition were most com¬ 
fortable. Major Peters provided transportation in the form of 
a jeep that gave me full freedom in the transaction of business in 
Balboa and Panama City. 
The work was completely successful and I am truly 
grateful to the Air Forces under your command for the assistance 
that made this possible. 1 know this region that I entered 
sufficiently now to realize that another expedition into the higher 
elevations is necessary, and I hope that 1 may be in a position to 
make this second trip next dry season, going in over another trail 
that I have partly explored. 
1 have a letter in the mail this morning from C. L. 
Gazin, paleontologist of our staff, felling me of the success of his 
work in excavations o£ fossils in the Azuero Peninsula. 1 
appreciate greatly your kind assistance in these investigations, 
particularly the use of the truck that brought the collections to 
Balboa. The Air Forces have been of very considerable aid in our 
scientific program in Panama. 
With my kindest regards, I am 
Sincerely yours. 
A, Wetmore, 
Secretary.
