did not come home until quite late Mrs. and I had quite a time to gossip about the U. of N. and members of its faculty. As they live out of the main city about 5 miles I did not return to the hotel before midnight.
Today was spent principally in trying to find Kodak film, settling with the commission for October and November, and in getting the draft for sending to you. I also went to the National Museum here in the City to see some of the naturalists, as well as their collections, and also to arrange for exchange of publications and specimens. Did not see the Director, Dr. Carlos Berg, for he has been away in Europe since the 10th of last May. Have a special letter to him from Scudder and also one from the "Sem. Bot." of the U. of N. Am sorry that I couldn't use these, especially the latter.
There are ever so many interesting things in this city that one might go to see if he only knew what they were and where to find them, that is if he had the time to spare and was a fluent Spanish speaker. This last I am not; nor do I expect to be one while I remain in the country. Time is too short and a new language too hard
