Dear Dr. Wetmore: 
The original of the enclosed copy of letter from F. H. 
Storms, together with the application from Dr. Cruxent, has 
been received in your office^ Shall I hold the application 
for your return, or vould you like me to forward it to Mr. 
Charles Baker Hitchcock in New York? 
Your mail is beginning to accumulate so you will have 
something to look forward to in a couple of months, on your 
returnJ 
I hope you are rid of your cold in that sunny climate. 
Dr. Kellogg, as you may know, returned with a bad cold which 
kept him away from the office two or three days, so he held a 
dim view of your recovering from a cold in Panama. He is fine 
now but I don't think the cold bug enabled him to enjoy the 
trip as much as he might have. 
The big opening of Hall 26 on the second floor, “Everyday 
Life in Early America , w took place on Saturday night with a 
crowd of more than 700. On Sunday the guards clocked in 5865 
visitors, so apparently it is going to be a popular exhibit. 
Perhaps you have heard that Dr. J. S. Williams died quite 
suddenly about two weeks ago. He had been to work the day 
before. 
I guess that is about all of ray news. Hello to Bea. I 
hope you are both having a fine time. 
Sincerely yours.
