Dear M-H:

I have your letter of January 16th
and am glad to see by it that you are so happy
in your retirement. I, also, thank you hearti—
ly for the kind invitation to visit you, and
some day I hOpe I will be knocking on your door.

I mucn appreciate your statement
regarding the gift of the Chucunaque material.
It conforms entirely with my understanding of
the matter. I have not heard anything further
from Lady Richmond Brown.

Enclosed herewith is the original
copy of the letter you ask for, so you have it ex—
actly as the original.

You are slightly in error in believing
that we have the only collection from the Bay
Islands, for the National Museum sent an expe-
ditionthere some years ago and they obtained a
great deal of material, which is now in Washing—
ton. I have not seen it all, but from what I
have seen it does not compare with What you got,
with the exception of a few pieces of very handsome—
ly painted pottery.

Keep well and keep happy, and visit us
once in a while.

With best personal regards, believe me,

Sincerely,

/7 ig%etx
