Dear Schultes: 
Louis and I have just been down to the post office getting the 
last of your bundles off. There are ten of them and one sent previously, 
makes eleeen in all, with postage $70.13. 
Talk about being oalled a liar I think, as do the rest of the 
people around here, that the last letter that you wrote me is about 
as impertanient and juvenile as any letter I have ever receive or 
ever hope to receive. 
You know quite well that I am more than glad to do any thing 
that I may for anyone here. Whether or not Louis and I think that 
it would be wise to wait a few more days in sending the material(it 
has already laid her for more than two months) in view of the high 
cost of the postage and the absence of Prof. Ames is haddly subject 
to,caustic comment. Also it was quite possible, since you were finally 
there, that you would find that you could get some of the material 
there. If, however, the postage was to have been paid by you and there 
had been money here to- pay it the material would hae gone right along. 
Neither Louis or myself thought that we wanted to expend that much 
museum money without Prof. Ames, authorization. 
Lyman Smighis not dead. -They are starting to build the wing 
onto the Gray.- Yestal is in Nova Scotia. - I have had no letter from 
Dugand .- Ld>uis would like one of the $5 stamps on your packages and 
so would I. - Is young Smith down there. I tried to locate him to 
take the stuff to Colombia. 
Sincerely,
