bliged to go.

Thus for I have not taken any journeys outside of Argentina, but the time for doing so draws nearer everyday. At present it looks as if most of the locusts that have not been killed have gone north into Paraguay and it will be necessary for me to follow them. Will not, however, leave the main lines of travel and try to go into the interior, as time is too precious and I do not feel obliged to take any risks of that kind. I may undertake a trip into Bolivia along the direct road and as far as Chuquisaca or Sucre, the capitol. This soon after I return from Paraguay or about the 1st of October. In December and January I want to look over the southern country a little and cross over into Chile. Then too, I must begin to get the material together for my report. But this I am doing all the time on cards as I did my "Nebraska Birds." In this way it is always ready for the printer.

Please arrange to send me the "Weekly Journal" or have Mr. Hunter do it. Have it mailed direct to me at (F.C.C.A.) Argentina, S.A. It can be done from the Journal Office. I do so miss the general news and you forget to write them. I only see McCrosky's once a month for a few minutes and then hear much news.

Good bye
Yours etc.
Lawrence Bruner
