Port Limon, Costa Rica
Mch. 27th 1902.
Dear Marcia:
If everything had gone as we planned I would be taking the steamer for New Orleans this evening myself instead of sending this letter; but now that a few cases of fever have occurred in this vicinity within the past two weeks New Orleans has established quarantine against this port. This makes it necessary for us to return by way of New York. Leaving here on Monday, the 31st we should reach New York on the following Monday and should reach home about the 10th of April.
Since we had bought round trip tickets from New Orleans to Limon, the United Fruit Co. is obliged to carry us to New York; and as our railway tickets were also round trip tickets the steamer company have to send us home from New York or else to New Orleans so that we can use the transportation. Mr. Cary and I are coming home now, but Mr. Carricker expects to stay in the country several months longer to collect specimens.
We are all quite well and enjoying ourselves. On account of the shortness of our stay in the country
