Dear Dr. Guardia;
June 19, 1939
This will introduce Mr. Richard Tewkesbury.
a reckless, stubborn young American who is ambitious
to make the trip overland from Balboa to the Colombian
border. I urge you to discourage him from this mad
adventure.
If. however, he will no t be di scouraged and
persists in his announced intention to undertake this
journey, will you please give him such advice and assistance
as you reasonably can.
He carries with him a camera and. approximately
1,000 feet of kodachrome film , which he will develop for
me if he comes out.
With kindest personal regards and most pleasant
recollections of our journey to Santiago, I am
Sincerely,
(Signed) Stephen James
