Transcription
of Buenos Ayres inclosing a number of clippings from the newspapers in that city relative to my appointment by the Commission for the extermination of the "Langostos." Some of these clippings are favorable, while others are opposed to having a stranger selected for the work. Will mail you some of them after I arrive in Buenos Ayres and can secure other copies of the papers from they were taken.

As near as I can tell at present I will leave here for Buenos Ayres on Friday by a Pacific Mail steamer and will arrive there in 3 or 4 days, or about June 1st. In the meanwhile I will probably go ashore another time and try to do a little more insect collecting.

I would like to see you all tonight, but it can't be so I try to reconcile myself to the fact. Only 10 months more.

Will write more shortly and continue my letter to Psyche from where I left off.

Good bye,
Yours
Lawrence Bruner
