Dr. A. K. Fisher,
Washington, D. C. 

Dear Dr. Fisher:

I have your letter of April 20, relative to Mr. Wetmore's visit to Stinking Lake. I have not been to the lake this spring but I presume that condition there are about the same as they have been in the past, and if so, I am quite sure that Mr. Wetmore will be welcome to stay in the cabin of the Chama Rod and Gun Club, which is on the hill just East and about the center of the lake.  This will be the best location and if he will see some of the officers of the club, at Chama, New Mexico, I feel quite sure that he will be given a key to the building with permimssion to use the camp equipment there.- which is complete. If he can get the benefit of the cabin, boats and other equipment there he would only have to furnish his bed and provisions. I suggest that he come to Chama, New Mexico and he can get an automobile there to bring him to the lake, as well as all information about what he will need after he gets there, as most of the members of the club live at Chama. If he cannot get to the club house it will be necessary for him to furnish tent and all camp equipment, as there are no ranches near the lake,-but as I have stated I can see no reason for the use of the house and furniture being refused him. He had better arrange to get his mail at El Vado, New Mexico, which is a logging town about 8 or 10 miles East, on a rail road.
Water is perhaps the most serious matter of consideration at the lake.
