I want to thank you again for idle many courtesies 
and the great assistance that you afforded me when I was in 
Venezuela for all of which I am highly appreciative. Best 
of all I feel now that we are friends and that we can look 
forward to further association in the future# 
I hope that you and MrB. Barnes enjoy your holiday 
In Puerto Rico, and that your plans for work on Apure can go 
forward. Let me hear from you when you get a chance. I will 
write you more about the birds a little later. 
With my kindest regards to you and to Mrs. Barnes, 
I am 
Sincerely yours, 
Assistant Secretary.
