Dr. William Hail Holden, 
755 Park Avenue, 
New York 21, New York. 
Dear Bill: 
I found your kind letter of January 12 in the Monday 
morning mail following my return from New York and thank 
you for all the trouble you have taken. The information is 
most helpful and I am proceeding to get the medicines that 
you list to carry with me on my coming trip. 
I reached Washington Sunday noon to learn that the 
appropriations committee wanted us to appear first thing the 
following morning so I had to go to work on that matter, and 
have been occupied with it ever since. I am pleased to have 
that behind me. 
I thought our dinner on Saturday night was excellent 
especially for its brevity, to which I did my personal best to 
contribute. It was good to see you though I was sorry that we 
did not have more opportunity for talk. 
I will let you know later on how things go in Panama, 
Sincerely yours. 
A. Wetmore 
Secretary.
