Oear Mr. Wetmcr® • 
Don Juvenal Valerio has .lust shown rae your letter to him and 
both he and I were released to learn of ^'our intention to visit Costa Rioa. 
I am taking this o’^eortunity to assure you that I shall 
ha’t’^y to Go-onerate with Don Juvenal in any way possible to help make yOc.r 
trio a nlsasure as well as a success from a scientific noint of view. 
Meantime I would suggest that any information you may require, 
referring to equlrtrnent or any other matter referring to the matter,! shall 
be ’^leased to give it my nrom’^t attention^! myself have done considerable 
collecting in Guanacaste, 
Don Juvenal tells me that he would ■^ro’^ose that you include in 
your outfit,: a cou'^le of bags of No. 12 Shot and another of DOSTglt will 
rrobably be more than you will'need yourself,but as I think it quite nossible 
that he is Planning accom-nanying you,we will be only too glad to take over 
that you do not require.These sizes of shot,most needed by collectors,are 
not to be obtalned^.here*.
