near the coast. We would, at the same time, arrange to go 
back inland about a day’s travel to the base of the mountains 
and make a camp, and from there work the^ mountain country. 
I have the name of a reliable man in Chiman who knows the 
trail leading back into the Serrama. If possible I want to 
i work the two points along this range. 
I would like also, if possible, to arrange for your 
brother, who was with Dr. Hartmann last year, to accompany 
* us also. He would serve as cook and we would be able to give 
him some training in addition in preparing specimens. I know 
that he is an experienced hunter. I would be prepared to pay 
him at the rate of $20.00 per week, with his expenses, including 
his transportation from Chiriqui to Panama City and return. 
The period of employment would be the same as that indicated 
above in your own case. 
Can you write him immediately and find out if he would 
be available? If he can come it will be excellent opportunity 
for him to get some training in this field and may readily lead 
to further similar employment in future. 
Perrygo and I are busy at the moment packing up field 
equipment and supplies and expect to ship in about a week by 
ocean freight. We will come down ourselves by air. 
With my best wishes and looking forward to hearing 
from you soon, I am 
Sincerely yours. 
A. Wetmore, 
Secretary.
