C. Koford 38 Journal March 31, 1951 Lima, Peru. and had driven from Santiago, Chile, to Argentina, Bolivia, and Lima. He was driving today toward Arequipa when he was meeting someone (Red's son? Bullock's son?) who was going to buy the truck, then going on to Santiago. He was in hurry so we had little time for talk. Then went to Direccion de Vigilancia & finally got my gun licenses. To Callao then where they told me would also have to have letter from Direccion de V. to the Superintendente de Aduana at Callao. Returned to Pre- fectura & arranged for this. My letter to get the ammo' munition was ready there (lots of help in last 2 days at cost of $1/70 in soles; Bernes would accept nothing but was "the thing" not in position to push things). Returned to hotel & worked on April 1, 1951. Sunday. To airport & tried to get my bundle of sleeping bags with gun inside. Unfortunately people not too lucky so found gun. They thought I had enough papers but said to come back tomorrow. A quick $50 probably would have helped. Returned to hotel and worked on Calif. cards there. April 2, 1951. To airport at 8 a.m. and got gun at no cost & with little talk, only showing my arms license. Fewer people at airports than seaports so easier to talk to top man and get his o.k. Also more English speaking people around to help & airline people helps much. Then to Licencia de Armas place to request permission to take ammo from Callao to Arequipa. To Callao where they said would have to have a "poliza" for the ammo; this means needed an Agente and had to pay duty. Got a man named Sanette to work on this; he was sure
