Dr. Alexander Wetiiiore 
U. S. Dept, of State 
Washington, D. C. 
Dear Doctor IVetmore: 
We have just received advice from the United 
Fruit Company advising they have arranged the follow¬ 
ing accommodations: 
S. S. Veragua October ^th. New iork to Port Limon 
Single Cabin 11 with shower and toilet 
S. S. Jamaica November Port Limon to New York 
Single Cabin 11 with shower and toilet 
Round trip fare - New York to Port Limon and return: $315.00 
U. S. Tax: 5-50 
Cuban Tax: .50 
They advise that owing to the limited transportation 
to Central America, the steaiaers have been sold to capacity. 
Whether this will be the saoie in October is hard to tell right 
now, but should the traffic be light, they might then be able 
to place you in a double cabin with bath and keep you alonj^ 
in one or both directions, this of course being contingent on 
booking conditions at that time. Such an arrangement would 
reduce jrour fare a little which, they are anxious to do 
everything in that respect. 
V 1 
To be certain of single space With bath, they have 
reserved the above space, but with regard to changing you to 
double cabin with bath and keeping you alone, they would not 
A)e able to tell you if this can be done until about a week
