Dear Dr. Wetmore: 
Thank you very much for your thought in writing to me. 
I imagine you have been receiving news from cur mutual friend 
Billy Phelps, Jr. The latest installment to me was certainly 
a wonder-full description of his recent flight of discovery 
to the new mountain on the Venezuela-Erazil boundary. I would 
like to publish it in the Geographical Review if our editor 
would only relent. 
Sincerely yours.
