lou will see by the date of this letter
that am now far up the Amazon l
wrote you last from Manassas OF nv
doings and adventures since leaving
Para. We stayed at Manasus only four
days, during whichtime we worked very
hard arranging and packing the speci
mems we had collected Thianis the
very worst kind of work. The Nsh, of
which we have an immense number are
all to be packed, the small ones in kegs
and the large ones in hogsheads, and
then they are to be filled with alcohol.
As both kegs and hogheads are very
poor and nearly all leak. our work has
to be done over many times. which. with
the thermometer at 90 or 100. is very
hard indeed.
This town of Tabatinger is, I do be
lieve, the vilest hole that exists on thi.
foofstool. The Professor had intended
to keep on from this point up to the
Andes in order to- study the glaciers.
but he has decided to send Mai Cotenio,
q Brazilian, who is with us, AMI Young j
-. So he and the rest of us will
return down the river in a day or two
and shall stop Mt Ega. which town is
about two-thirds of the way between
here and Manasus, where we shall re-
main for a week, until the return of the
Major and his companions. l was anx-
ious to go on this, expedition. but the
Professor wished me to remain with him,
so gracefully yield Ega is very
pleasant place, and there l can have
some first-rate shooting. From Ega we
return to Manasus, where we shall meet
government steamer placed Mt the
Professors disposal by the Brazilian
government, in which we shall proceed
to explore the Rio Negro and then the
Rio Madeira, which will occupy us until
December. Then coming down the
Amazon. we shall explore some of the
lower rivers and reach Para some time
in January 1 shall remain in Para a
month. The Professor and his wife
will return down the coast to Rio janet
TO, where he has promised to go TO report
to the Emperor what he has done, and
also to deliver a course of lectures
This will occupy his time until Nav,
when he will return home. Having
finished my work in Para, l propose
going to the great island of Mario, lying
in the mouth of the river, where there is
said to be very fine shooting, water fowl,
tigers, deer, DC.
