  • Extracts from two letters sent from Charles Minot Griffith to his wife, Elva, and published in the Perry Record, a local newspaper in Perry, New York, which regularly published letters and journal entries the Griffith's sent during their time in South America. The first letter discusses Griffith's preparations to travel Naranjal in the Guayaquil Province of Ecuador, including descriptions of the acquisition of pack animals and the necessity of repacking much of his luggage to account for the weather. The second letter describes Griffith and his companions' travels from Naranjal to Cuenca, providing details about the jungles they passed through, their ascent into the Andes, and Griffith's observations of the region, city, and people.
