of one kind that is called "peludo" here in the country. Besides being covered with a shell they are a little hairy too. Maybe I will bring them home alive. That is if they are still alive and can stand the sea ride on the ship. There are two kinds of big lizzards here that are called "iguanas" but that are not. They are about as long as you are high. I don't have any yet, but guess that I will get one or two and skin them so as to have them stuffed later when I come back to the University. They are gray and green in color.
By the time you get this letter it will be Christmas and you will have snow and it will be cold. But down here it will be as hot as the Fourth of July at home. Only think about it. To have Christmas come in summer instead of in winter. I cannot send anything home for Xmas. I am sorry about it but it is so hard to send anything because it would have to go to Europe first or it might be on the road ever so long and then stay in New York as much longer.
Good-bye, a kiss to each.
Your Papa
Lawrence Bruner
