Dr. A. 1STM0BE. 
Pic de Macaya, Haiti, 
My dear Dr. Wetmore, 
Sedieii'arrived last night, and delivered 
your letter, I appreciate your letting Bejour leave at once, 
and regret the inconvenience it has doubtless caused you. 
On Tuesday the 14th, I received another telegram announcing 
the death of Mae. Dejour, s&. I suppose he will not join your 
party again. 
Herewith enclosed ia list of articles you 
demanded, which amount to 9& •7 0 • I hope they reach you 
in good shape. Sedietk plans to depart early tomorrow, Saturday, 
morning, and should therefore reach your camp Sunday as you 
desired. 
In turn repeating your hope that we may meet 
before you leave Haiti, I wish to add that somehow your name 
seemed very familiar to me. I have since recalled a book 
I bought for Mother a few years ago, treating of that most facina- 
ting subject- "bird migration". It was, if I am not mistaken, 
your account of your studies. 
Is there, I wonder, any scientific explanation of the mechanism 
of the sense of direction. 
Hwodson describes the importance to the South American 
Indian of swinging his hammock along the meridian, and how the 
Indians in thick jungle will unerringly cut their way straight 
homewards . 
Be assured that if your convenience brings 
you to Jeremie I shall be greatly delighted to see you. 
Sincerely yours.
