Dear Marcia:
Well I am nearly tired out from running about over the city all day yesterday and today trying to look up some matters connected with the "Langasta Comission" work, as well as some my own. It appears almost impossible to do anything here short of at least a week or ten days — little affairs that had ought to be done in a few minutes.

I am afraid that I will not get a single photograph from all of my wanderings here in S.A.​. It is impossible to get any film for my Kodack​ — either here or in other places. Will have to buy a couple dozen photos to illustrate a few of the most characteristic features, but of course there will not be just what I would have selected to snap at myself if I had the films. Too bad that I neglected to bring any from New York when I came and arranged for more to be sent later.

Last evening I took tea (Dinner) with the McCroskys who are now keeping house in Flores, a suburb of Buenos Aires. We had quite a visit, and as I went a little early and Mr. McCrosky

fore it is time to start home. Of course you will continue to write up to within a month of my starting or to about the 1st of February.
