Dear Alex: 
Mr, Griscom tells me that you are leaving 
for Guatemala on October 1 or thereabouts* I do 
hope you will have a successful and interesting 
trip. 
When I returned from England a few days ago 
I found a letter awaiting me from my friend 
Mr. John R. Johnston. Mr. Johnston used to be a 
Vice President of the United Fruit Company and was 
in charge of the research department. He has since 
become connected with the Escuela Nacional de 
Agricultura (Finca Alameda, Chimaltenango, Guatemala) 
and has written me regarding cooperation in botanical, 
agricultural, and entomological work. It occurred to 
me that he might be of service to you and I know he 
would be very glad to do anything he could for you. 
I have written him that you may be in his vicinity 
and that I have given you his address. However, do not 
do anything about this unless it ties up with your 
plans. 
With kindest regards and best good wishes, I am 
Sincerely yours.
