Dr. Alexander Wetmore,

Caracas, Venezuela 
Dear Dr. Wetmore: 
I was much pleased to receive '""ii'i/—^ your very interesting 
letter sent by air mail from Venezuela, and had much pleasure in 
transmitting a copy to Mrs. Wetmore. firs. Wetmore, by the way, 
attended the first lecture of our series on November 12th, ?/hen 
Doctor and Mrs. Mann told of their recent expedition to Sumatra. 
Doctor and Mrs. Mann acquitted themselves splendidly. Everyone 
enjoyed their narrative. Mrs. Wetmore spoke very favorably of it 
also. 
I am glad to learn that you are finding the birds that you 
hoped to discover, and hope you will return greatly refreshed by 
your experiences. 
Our joint effort, The Society's new Book of Birds," continues 
to sell well, so that I expect in about six months sales will have 
paid all expenses. 
All on the staff join me in kind regards, 
Yours sincerely.
