Matty Dirks, wife of the Krimmer Mennonite Brethren missionary Sylverter Dirks, walks down a jungle path followed by several Indigenous women and children, probably Campas, near the Krimmer Mennonite Brethren mission station of El Encuentro.

Three negs., not used in the CM, taken at the Krimmer Mennonite Brethren mission station El Encuentro. Some information is on the enclosed note. One neg. is described as: "Farewell 'banquet' under the mango tree. The Indians preferred sitting in a huddle flat on the ground while they ate." The other 2 negs. show houses at Tourna-Vista, one built by R. G. LeTourneau for jungle living, the other a Peruvian workman's home - well above average in construction. See articles in the CM 4-38-4, 4-39-4 and 4-40-4 for more information.
