Dear Ed:

I have the honor of acknowledging, on behalf of Yale
University, the receipt from you, through Mr. Coffin, of your cheque
for $2500, covering your contribution toward the expenses of the
1914-195 Peruvian Expedition and in payment of the second and last
installment of your pledge of March 16, 1914. I am advising Hiram
Bingham of this payment. For your generous co-operation in helping
this work of South American Exploration, which means to much to us and
indeed to the world at large, we are most grateful.

Dear Mr. Johnson:

Will you please furnish the Expedition with four new
black leather binders for the loose-leaf notebooks provided
to the men in the field for carrying the typewritten "Circular"
instructions? I do not know where they were purchased before.

They are called (according to the stamp in the cover), the
"National Simplex Price Book", No. 4290.

These new books will receive numbers as follows: No. 5; No. 11; No. 12; and No. 13.

The lettering and the numbers on the outside will be in gilt
as before, but the words "Yale Peruvian Expedition" will be changed
to:

Will you please also get us one hundred sheets of the cross-
ruled notebook paper, punched to fit this sort of cover, like sample
sheet enclosed? We shall need the paper as soon as it can be sent
over.

Professor Bingham says we have funds belonging to
these men at the Treasurer's Office from which such
bills can be paid.

P. S. Dr. Ford is in Washington, but I have sent him your

We have been working on the expense accounts of the

statement of your expenses from the last one sent to us, namely, Decem-
ber 9th up to the date you receive this letter, and also state on the
same the balances of cash you have on hand and with Lomellini at that
date. This will enable us to strike some sort of balance in your
accounts. Will you also at the same time have Mr. Hardy make copies
of all of Lomellini's statements to you and send the same to us? The
original statements, of course, should be held for Professor Bingham.

Dear Sir:

I hand you herewith a statement showing the amounts ex-
pended on account of the Yale Peruvian Expedition in 1914-1915, both
at New Haven and on the field. I hand you herewith also 2.80 solas,
in silver, which were returned by Mr. Anderson. We have credited
this amount to his account and charged the same to you.

P.S.-I wrote Mr. Erdis and Mr. Hardy, regarding small items on their
expense account. I find that we are unable to strike a balance with
Mr. Erdis' accounts because he has nowhere stated just the amount of
cash he had on hand at any certain time. This, of course, I asked
him for in the last letter. In my statement to you of the other day
that he was short a thousand solas in his account I should have said
that, according to the records which we have at the present time, he
should have a thousand solas on hand. As soon as we get any state-
ment from him which will enable us to strike a balance I will then
see what the figures show.

My dear Mr. Schaefer:

The last lot of goods from Dr. Alvistur has been received although not in good order. It has already cost us more than $30 to repair the damage done to the first consignment, and it will cost us at least $50 before we get the whole lot repaired, as they were so badly packed.

It seems to me that this amount ought to be subtracted from the amount due, but I should prefer to have Mr. Ballen take this up with Mr. Alvistur before deciding, as I do not want to worry him unnecessarily.

There is a balance of 500 pounds £500/-/-, due him, and when this has been paid you may draw on me for the appropriate exchange to the Union and New Haven Trust Company.

If you can save the $50 which we shall have to spend for the repairs on account of the bad packing I shall be very glad, but do not consider it absolutely essential.

With kind regards and many thanks for your assistance in this matter, believe me to remain,

Gentlemen:

Regarding the enclosed bill of the Smith-Worthington Co., bearing the date of March 1st, for a total of $383.82: while this Bureau did not handle the order for the goods in question, and has no knowledge that delivery has actually been made, we do know that about this quantity of items was ordered for the Peruvian Expedition 1914-15, to be delivered at the dock. Furthermore, the prices are the same or about the same as the prices paid heretofore for similar articles purchased from the same concern. We have reason to believe that delivery was made at the place specified, and believe it proper to pay the bill in full without waiting for Mr. Bingham to approve it. The Concern is a very responsible one and would undoubtedly make good any shortage or defect. It would be well to send to Mr. Bingham a list of the items asking him to advise as promptly as possible whether the goods were received.

My dear Professor Bingham:

We have just received word from Muller, Schall & Company, of New York, that Erdis and Hardy have each drawn for $1,000 against the credit which was issued to you. These drafts are due May 10th, and we will of course have to pay them at that time. Miss Kirkpatrick is away, and I have been over to your office and find nothing in your correspondence files authorizing either Erdis or Hardy to draw any such amounts at this time. In fact, there is nothing in your letters to them which would indicate that they need that amount of money at this time. It seems to me, when any irregular transaction of this kind is to be made, that this office should be notified at the same time, in order that arrangements may be made to protect the drafts when they arrive. I thought possibly that Lomellini had received word from Muller, Schall & Company and then notified Erdis and Hardy to draw on that account. The last cash accounts we have from both men up to December show that they had on hand approximately $1,000 apiece; and with the prospects of your arrival in Peru at such an early date it seems to me that they should not have drawn any such amounts as these. These two drafts of course reduce the amount of your credit with Muller, Schall & Company to $8,000. If you wish these considered as drafts in addition to your credit, please let me know and I will

Dear Hiram:

As promised, I have taken up with Mr. Bristol your in-
quiry as to the agreement with Mr. Osgood Hardy, as Chief Assistant
of the Peruvian Expedition, and am now in receipt of a letter from
Mr. Bristol, reading as follows:

"I have examined the agreement between Hiram Bingham, Director of the Peruvian Expedition 1914-15, Yale University and the National Geographic Society, and Osgood Hardy, as well as Mr. Bingham's letter to you dated October 1st. From this letter I gather that Mr. Hardy claims that his intestinal trouble was acquired in Peru, for which he must have medical attendance and service, and that he has returned to New Haven (whether with or without the consent of the Director does not appear) and he is now residing here. It appears from the contract that Mr. Hardy was to be Chief Assistant of the Expedition, that he was to receive a salary as stated therein, to be paid until July 1st, 1916, on satisfactory fulfilling the terms of this contract, including the delivery of all field notes, his journal, all photographs and negatives, the outfit loaned by the Expedition, and satisfactory reports on the work accomplished in the field."

Mr. Hardy, as Chief Assistant, is obligated to
do and perform various other acts particularly described in
the contract.

Par. 16 provides: '(16) that the Chief Assist-
ant assumes all risks of personal injury or disability incurred
by him on this expedition, and agrees to waive all claims
against the Director, Yale University, and the National Geo-
graphic Society for any personal injury, or disability, phy-
sical or mental, incurred in or arising from his connection
with the expedition, except that injuries or disability oc-
curring to him in the service of the expedition shall not
result in any dimunition of the salary agreed upon during
the term of this contract. Furthermore, that, in case of
accident, or illness, it is agreed that the Chief Assistant
is to receive all possible care and such medical or hospital
aid as can be reasonably provided, and all without charge to
him, or deduction from his salary.'

Assuming that this contract is still in force
and binding upon the parties, and that Mr. Hardy is continuing

Prof. Hiram Bingham

Oct. 6, 1915.

to perform his part of it, I am of the opinion that the obligation to provide medical or hospital aid on account of his illness so alleged to have been contracted, is in force, and that Mr. Hardy is entitled to have such medical or hospital aid furnished by Mr. Hiram Bingham, Director of the Peruvian Expedition 1914-15. In other words, so long as the contract is in force and being performed, I think it is obligatory upon all the parties to it. There is no limitation of place in the provision in reference to medical or hospital aid, which limits such aid being furnished while Mr. Hardy is in Peru, or on his way there or back. It is clear that other provisions of the contract could not be performed until after his return to New Haven. It is reasonable to assume, therefore, that the obligation to furnish medical and hospital aid, in case of accident or illness, should continue while the contract remained in force."

Dear George:

I am enclosing the letter of credit which Muller, Schall & Co. gave me from Bonelli, dated February 8th and for $10,000, expiring December 31st, 1915. It is possible that there may be one more draft on this, which will be signed by Geoffrey W. Morkill. The last draft which I made on it was on April 10th, a draft for $2000.

Please note that E. L. Anderson has resigned from the Expedition. Perhaps he has already communicated with you. I believe that he is in our debt. I enclose a copy of his resignation. I believe it will be well not to send any more money to his mother. I told him to send his cash book directly to you. Has he done so?

I am enclosing my cash book and such receipts as I took.

On the W.R.Grace & Co.'s letter of credit which I sent you some time ago, I believe there were two drafts. When the second comes in for payment (it will amount to about $1000), please let me know its exact amount. It was paid for a collection of Peruvian antiquities which I bought for the University, the money for which I shall have to give you as a separate gift.

You will notice in my cash book that on March 15th I paid for Anderson's board $3.90, and for Mrs. Anderson's room and board at Panama amounting to $12.50 for room and $6.75 for board. Again on March 29th I paid for her, 380 soles and on April 1st, 8 soles.

Dear Hiram:

I am today in receipt of a letter from Professor Harri-
son, reading as follows:

"The large increase in the number of stu-
dents taking work in this laboratory, which has made it neces-
sary to increase our staff, together with the increase in the
number of independent investigators, has brought us almost to
the end of the space in the building available as laboratories
for individual workers. Under these circumstances the depart-
ment feels that it will be necessary for it to have possession
of Room 223, now occupied by the Yale Peruvian Expedition, be-
ginning next July. We regret very much that this is the case
but we do not see any alternative. Will you kindly inform
Professor Bingham to this effect?"

To this letter I have replied that I am at once taking
the matter up with you but that because of the fact that I am leaving
New Haven tomorrow, for a trip West, I shall be unable to go into the
situation personally until after my return in January. In the mean-
time can you perhaps be looking over the ground and discussing possible
locations with Mr. Ostrander, so that I can take the matter up for you
to the best advantage on my return? I have thought that there might
be a possibility of utilizing some rooms in Edwards Hall or possibly
Osborn Hall, a location which might encourage more general inspection
by the alumni and other visitors to New Haven. In any event, as you
know, we shall be only too glad to co-operate with you in every way to
the best of our ability.

P.S.-Do you think it would be at all feasible for you to consider renting
a house on College Street, with the idea of making people realize that
sooner or later we hope to have some permanent building for this South
American material and work?

Dear George:

While in Lima I succeeded in getting a Peruvian to ship
very valuable collection of antiquities, including some beautiful textiles,
representing the civilization of the southern Peruvian coast. On learning
that they would be safely exported by owner, I ordered him to be paid
through a draft on Grace and Company, which I have remitted to you, for
$967.70. The cost of shipment, insurance, freight, etc., brings the cost
of this collection up to $1947.18, all of which I have paid. If you know
of anybody who would like to meet this bill and make a gift of this collection
to Yale, I should be very glad to have them take it off my hands. Of
course, I regard it as University property, and if worst comes to worst
shall have to charge it up to my own account. But I have been under pretty
heavy expense this year, and would be greatly obliged to be relieved of this
item, provided, without too much trouble, you could find someone who would
like to make an attractive gift to the University. The material was really
bought at a great bargain and is worth two or three times what I paid for
it.

I have your note of January 31st addressed to Professor
Day regarding the possibility of Professor Bingham's use of a
room in Sloane Hall. As you of course know, we regard Sloane
Hall as belonging primarily to the Economics Department, but
whenever we have room which we are not using, we are, of course,
glad to make it available to other departments on the understand-
ing that it will be vacated immediately on notice from the
Economics Department. Professor Bingham has had some conversa-
tion with me about the matter. At that time he was considering
certain other possible rooms in addition to this one. I told
him if he decided that the room in Sloane Hall was the best for
his purpose, to apply to me and I would see what could be done.
He has made no application for the room thus far. This is the
way the matter now stands and I think you can safely leave it
to Professor Bingham taking the matter up with me when he sees
fit. I believe Professor Day has already replied to your letter
somewhat to this effect.

perfectly willing to fulfill his part of the contract when, and

I note that while you regard Sloane Hall as devoted primarily to the Economics Department you are of course glad to make available for other departments any room which you may not be using, on the understanding that it will be vacated immediately on notice from the Economics Department. Should Professor Bingham decide that a room in Sloane would best suit his requirements I imagine that he will take the matter up with you in person. Of course, in the event of his asking for a room in Sloane Hall which might subsequently be required by the Economics Department, there would have to be a reasonable amount of notice given before it could be vacated, since there would be many articles, pottery, etc. to be moved.

Dear Hiram:

When Mr. Bannard was here on Saturday I spoke to him
about the possibility of his interesting certain graduates in the
purchase of the collection of antiquities of which you wrote me on
January 28th. Mr. Bannard said that it was his opinion that the
University could not well seek to interest graduates in the pur-
chase of such a collection unless the donors could be given in ad-
vance information as to the value of the collection and also as to
the purpose for which it could be used and, most of all, informa-
tion as to where the collection would be placed on permanent exhi-
bition in the University.

Of course this is where we are very weak in not
having a building where we can properly house such collections as
that of which you speak. Had you thought of any place which
would be available for the exhibition of this collection? Let me
know about this, if you will, in order that I make take the matter

My dear Prof. Bingham:

The deficit in the 1912 Expedition accounts amounts
to $84.56. I find that we expended on account of Professor Eaton's
book $137.25 to York the photographer, and $39.00 to Baake, making
a total of $176.25. Of this amount Dr. Eaton repaid to the Expe-
dition $76.25 in accordance with a letter from Miss Kirkpatrick to
him, dated August 24, 1915. In this letter she stated that he was
to pay the excess over the $100 which you authorized her to O. K.
for the Expedition.

In addition to these amounts we expended at the same
time $25.00 for a report on fossils, to a Mr. Stanton, and $172.51
to the American Journal of Science; both of these items covering pay-
ments on account of the articles by Mathewson and Gregory. I presume
the $100 which you have assumed in this Expedition on account of Dr.
Eaton's article can be added to the amount of Dr. Eaton's expenses
to be repaid from the National Geographic Society. I hand you
herewith a detailed statement of Dr. Eaton's expenses which amount
to $700.87. This together with the $100 mentioned above will make
$800.87 to be recollected from the National Geographic Society.

113.96 to the general account

Please make no more charges against the 1911 or 1912 Expe-
ditions.

I also enclose my check for the $114.15 due
the Expedition for my personal expenses.

Now in regard to the charges of Dr. Eaton
for his expenses which have been charged to the Peruvian
Expedition of 1912, amounting at the present time to
$700.87, besides the $100 allowed to him. These charges
are not authorized on behalf of the Peruvian Expedition
of 1912. As I understand it, Dr. Eaton is personally re-
sponsible for them. The National Geographic Society has
agreed to pay $500 towards the publication of his mono-
graph, provided he meets certain requirements in the way
of acknowledgments. But I do not know how the other
$200.87 is likely to be met unless he proposed to get it
out of the Connecticut Academy. In any case, the point
I desire to make at the present time is that the $700.87
is not chargeable to the 1912 Expedition nor to the South
American Exploration Fund; and furthermore that the
National Geographic Society has not agreed to stand for
the $800.87, as implied in your letter of March 22d.

This will acknowledge receipt of your second letter
of March 25th, enclosing cheque for $459 which will be placed to
the accounts as listed.

It will also acknowledge receipt of your cheque for
$114.15 due to the Expedition for your personal expenses. We are
taking up with Dr. Eaton the question of disposition of the balance
of the charges on account of his book over and above the conditional
grant from the National Geographic Society of $500. None of this
money has been charged against the South American Exploration Fund,
and of course it will not be so charged.

My dear Dr. Eaton:

Mr. Bingham has notified us that the National Geo-
graphis Society have made a conditional grant of $500 toward the
publication of your article. As the total of the statement fur-
nished by you to us amounts to $700.87 I am writing to ask how
this additional amount is to be taken care of. Will you kindly
advise me, and oblige,

Dear Mr. Ostrander:

Your letter of March 27th has been received. I have very little knowledge of Mr. Bingham's financial relations with the Nat. Geog. Soc., and am unable to answer your question further than to state that Mr. Bingham assumed (responsibility for payment of the cost of making the plates) for my report (on condition that the Academy would furnish him with 400 copies for distribution.) While the price per copy of the report has not yet been fixed by the Academy, the cost of 400 copies on that basis would doubtless exceed $700.87, the amount spent on the plates.

I mention this merely to show that, under the present arrangement, Mr. Bingham will receive the 400 copies of the report, he has asked for, at a reasonable figure.

My dear Dean Jones:

I write to confirm our conversation of Thursday by telephone in regard to your letter of the 30th March, concerning my request for rooms for Professor Bingham's South American collections in Osborn Hall. I note that it will be impossible for you to give up A2 Osborn since this is almost indispensable for examinations, but that you are willing in order to accommodate Professor Bingham to let him have the use of D1 and E1 Osborn. He will be very glad to take these if we can cut through a doorway to connect the two rooms; and I have asked Mr. Munro to look into this matter and to report to you and myself, on my return on Wednesday. In the meantime I have asked Mr. Munro to discuss with you thoroughly the possibility of your using 90 High Street for recitation rooms and offices and to report to you and myself the expense of the necessary alterations there.

Dear Hiram:

I have talked with Dean Jones in regard to the date
on which the College would be able to give up the use of rooms D1 and El
Osborn Hall, for your use in connection with the South American Collec-
tions. Apparently it would be impossible for the College to arrange
to give these up until after the examinations in June, as they are
very much handicapped now by lack of facilities and would not dare
give up two rooms even in Osborn Hall until they had other rooms
immediately available which were at least as satisfactory to them.

Dear Hiram:

I note that your Underwood typewriter #5-575378 has been in
use three years. You wished this machine to come under the University's
contract for replacement every three years at a net expense of $21.75
did you not? If that is the case may I send the typewriter representative
to your office to get any particulars needed as to type and arrangement
of characters, and so provide for having the machine exchanged before
the end of the month?

My dear Mr. Grosvenor:-

As I promised you when in Washington, I have brought before the Corpora-
tion of Yale University (at its meeting on Monday, May 15th) the possibility of
having the enlargements of photographs taken by the Peruvian Expedition exhibited
at Yale. Following my report the following resolutions were adopted:

"Voted, to extend the thanks of the University to Mr. Gilbert H. Grosvenor and through him to the National Geographic Society for the opportunity given the University to have an exhibition of the enlargements of photographs taken by the Peruvian Expedition; and to assure him that for his thought of the University the Corporation is most grateful.

"Voted, to request Professor Hiram Bingham and the Treasurer to arrange for the shipment of the photographs from Washington to New Haven and for their exhibition in the space in Memorial Hall given over to the display of paintings of members of the Faculty of the School of Medicine at the time of its Centenary celebration."

Before leaving town on business for a few days, I am writing you at
once to ask if you will advise this office as to when the photographs will be
shipped so that we may take prompt steps to have the space in Memorial Hall ready
for them.

With best wishes, believe me,

The Peruvian Expedition 1914-15.

Dear Miss Williams:

I do not think it will be necessary to make
out a charge for ninety-two cents (92¢) as you suggest, if you
will put the bills through in the following manner;—

Please send to the Treasurer's Office the original
blue copy which you have, with toll line calls charged at $1.43
and also the credit sent you under date of May 19th amounting
to fifty-one cents (51¢), both O. K'd by either you or
Mr. Bingham. You see the charge for calls at 1.43, less the
credit sent through for fifty-one cents (51¢) leaves a balance
due of ninety-two cents (92¢). I have taken up the matter
with Mr. Knecht at the Treasurer's Office and he thoroughly
understands what to do when he receives your blue slips O. K'd.

I am also returning to you the vouchers which accompanied
your letter of this morning and thank you very much.

My dear Mr. Grosvenor:

I write to thank you for your letter of the 23rd May,
advising me that you are shipping, by Adams Express, 136 of the
Peruvian pictures, and that under separate cover you are sending
a photograph of the arrangement in panels of these pictures in
your exhibition hall in case we wish to follow the same plan of
arrangement here. I note that the balance of the photographs, 19,
is in New York at present and that you will have them shipped to me
as soon as possible.

You are good to offer to send us the 8,000 copies of
the catalogue describing the pictures, which still remain in your
hands, and which you will be glad to give to us for use in connec-
tion with the exhibition here. I shall appreciate it if you will
forward these to me in accordance with your suggestion. Again
thanking you for your thought of the University and your co-
operation which has made possible the realization of this oppor-
tunity by us, I am,

Dear Prof. Bingham:

In accordance with your letter of May 25th we are charg-
ing to the South American Exploration Fund $700.87, being the cost of
making the plates for Dr. Eaton's report. I presume this charge
should go against the Yale Peruvian Expedition of 1912, but you will
remember we closed this account out and no more charges were to be
made there. If this is to go to that account will you please ad-
vise me whether I shall transfer that amount from the general account
or the 1915 Expedition, in order to balance the account.

I suppose we shall receive a cheque from the National
Geographic Society for at least $500 on account of this publication.

Dear Sir:

Enclosed you will find a check for $50.00 from the Adams Express

time ago for a medicine chest which was shipped by Mr. D. E. Ford by
Adams Express from New York to New Haven. Will you kindly credit this
amount to the Peruvian Expedition account.
