Dear Perry: 
After I got away from Washington I became uncertain as to whether or 
not I had put into the PanamA outfit the extra mosquito net that we dis¬ 
cussed. I do not find it listed in the memorandum of packing that we made. 
To take care of this, may I ask you to wrap a mosquito net and have it ad¬ 
dressed as follows!

I m SU re that Mias Weiss will take care of the mailing for you. The 
package can go forward by ordinary mail as it will reach Panamd in that way 
before I do myself. I will write Zetek that it is on toe way. 
This trip thus far has gone off according to schedule. We were four 
days over Christmas in Curacao, which is an interesting island where I saw 
mmy of the native birds. December 26 we came across by air to Venezuela 
and since have been located here in Caracas. We had one two-day trip to 
Maracay where we spent a forenoon in a Gruman canoe with an outboard on a 
lake that was simply full of waterbirds. In the afternoon we visited the 
subtropical forest at Rancho Grande. Wednesday we had an all-day trip along 
the coast in a beautiful little yacht that belongs to Dr. Phelps. We are 
due now to shove off in a Catalina on Saturday morning, January 2, at 6 ® clock 
We exoect to fly around our mountain and then land at Esmeralda and start out 
in boats. I have done no collecting yet but have made many interesting ob¬ 
servations, in addition to working on specimens in Dr. Phelps' museum. 
Sincerely yours. 
A. Wetmore
