ga ke warm clothing and don’t get dysentery. Take an old thick 
xlarnie1 shirt for John ne didn’t take it on our first trip and nearly 
froze to death although I gave him one - he left it behind. Take fly 
tents or something to camp tinder high up the mts. Hope you have a 
good trip - Hispaniola is’lovely, nothing like it in IT.S.A. 
Yours very truly, 
¥. L. Abbott.
