I will not write much of a letter, but will tell you all about things when I reach home.
Tell Psyche that I couldn't get her monkey or the parrot since we have kept out of the hot country purposely to avoid the possibility of contracting the fever.
We nearly decided to come home by way of Jamaica but have decided that it will be best to remain here go direct to New York. The United Fruit company will have to pay our hotel bill at this place for 3 days because that is the time we will have to wait for the New York steamer. On our homeward journey we will pass the islands of Jamaica, Haiti, Cuba, Inagua and others of the West Indies.
Will you tell Mr. Crawford about the change in our plans, and perhaps also Mr. Westermann [?] Dales, although, perhaps, it will make no difference to them since my leave will not expire till the 15th of April.
I have not written to Father, mother or the boys, for I could hardly spare the time to do so, having been occupied nearly every minute of the time with other matters, as traveling about the country, collecting speciments, looking after the boys etc.
Good bye till about the 10th of April. Yours,
Lawrence Bruner.
