Sierra Santa Elena. 
Tecpas, Guatemala. 
Dear Don Axeli 
I had word two days ago that the package with 
the ammunition and the cotton had finally b^ifehipped to 
you in Guatemala. The Guatemalan authorities have given 
the necessary permission for the admission of the 
cartridges and I hope that the package will reach you 
safely. 
Ten days ago I gave a talk before the Biological 
Society of Washington on my work in Guatemala* and you may 
be sure that Sierra Santa Elena figured prominently both In 
the pictures that 1 had on the screen and in my remarks, 
{'any people have been in to see the bir ’s that I collected. 
The skeletons are now being cleaned. 
I am enclosing a few more photographs that you 
may cere to add to those sent to you previously. 
With my kindest regards to you and to all your 
family, I am 
Sincerely yours.
