Dear Dr. Mann: 
I have recently returned from a long tour through South 
Sumatra and found that the Department of Economic Affairs had 
granted you an additional permit for 
1 Orang utan, 
500 Muni a maja, 
500 Munia punctulata, 
500 Munia leucogastra, 
500 PI o ecus philippinus, and 
20 of each of the birds not protected in Java 
The permit was addressed to you in care of Den Directeur 
van den Gemeentelijken Dierentuin Pematang Siantar. 
I hope that the permit has reached you by this time. I 
found it impossible to obtain a permit for two extra orang utans. 
Sorry you could not be with me in South Sumatra, as I had 
a wonderful time ther 
and Sumatra
