third to supper on the fourth, I did not

eat anything but only added water from time
to time. The supper paved the way and my
breakfast on the fifth stabilized the con-
dition. The symptoms and progress of the
diarrhea is similar to those I have pre-
viously had, so I am not concerned. I
think that I will receive immunity to these
bugs in Guatemala from time to time and
that evntually will not have trouble with
water or food. Once I can get in the field,
I will be independent of the hotels and
diseases of the city. One thing that the
lunch today did not cure (which incidentally
included an avado, grapefruit, biscuits,
butter, rice and chicken, livers, mashed
potatoes and gravey, peas, corn, a tender-
loin steak two inches thick and rare, piece
of cake, chocolate ice cream and milk+-the
eating of which should dispell any doubt

as to my complete recovery) The» are pimples
on my leg surrounded by red rings about so)
What is it, doctor?

This reminds me that I must get my
oxfords half-soled as the holes are allow-
ing the mire of the walks to get to my feet.

my window at the Pan-American. The room is
on the third flar and even at that height,
overlooks the city. All the buildings have
beautiful tile on the floor,

Cne of my first problems in Guatemala
City was to get the permit to carry a gun
