Dr. A. Wetmore, 
c/o American Consul, 
Port-au-Prince, Haiti. 
Dear Dr. Wetmore: 
I am enclosing herewith two clippings in which 
you may he interested, and also copy of a letter from 
Mr. A. Bryan Williams, Game Commissioner of British Colum¬ 
bia. In your absence, I have acknowledged this letter and 
expressed our appreciation of his very generous cooperation. 
In compliance with your promise to Mr. Sheldon, 
I am also sending a copy of this letter to him, and explain¬ 
ing that in the case of the deer, these were simply included 
in a discussion of a permit in order that he might have the 
greatest leeway in making a useful collection in the district 
which he was to visit, and that whether he wished to include 
these in his request for permit was entirely up to him. This 
action was taken after a discussion with Dr. Kellogg. In 
case you are especially anxious to obtain these deer, I will 
be glad to take up this subject with Mr. Williams further, 
since he is apparently anxious to help in any way. 
Rear-admiral Byrd received the Langley Medal today 
at a brief, although impressive, ceremony. I will probably 
be able to send you clippings on this in my next letter. 
Everything seems to be going very well. 
I was glad to learn from Mrs. Pearson that you had 
arrived in Haiti safely, and I hope that everything is pro¬ 
gressing up to your expectations.
