Dear Dr. Wetmore: 
So glad to hear from you, of your safe 
arrival and pleasant prospects. I enclose check for 
$200 as desired. 
Congress will meet November 15 on a pro 
gram to include reorganization, but I believe it is thought 
doubtful if they reach it. At all events, I expect to see 
Senator Logan and other senators and if possible get OLir 
Institution excepted. Some further rumors have come about 
the wings., but nothing definite. 
The Newcomers Society of Engineers will visit 
the Smithsonian November 4 and have my solar engine as a 
principal exhibit on their program. I hope it will do well 
on that occasion. Cleveland surprisingly gave me a beauti¬ 
ful gold medal for it. 
With best wishes. 
Dr. Alexander Wetmore, 
Assistant Secretary, Smithsonian Institution, 
Care American Consul, 
Caracas, Venezuela.
