trip 
ny movie sequence for the African /of the year before. But, again, I must 
say we had a wonderful time, and I wish that I might be going on a cruise 
with you again this coming winter or next spring. This reminds me that I 
got a few nice pictures of ^at early morning seine haul at Pigeon Island, 
one rather good one of the /f^nk Ifegalopa on the sand, , 
Ifeanwhile, I am wondering if you could let me borrow the negatives of 
the several shots you took of one or another of us at work. »I have nothing 
of the sort. If you can let me have some of them at least via registered 
mail, I will have prints made here, and weJTOLl be glad to send you a set 
too. Shortly I shall have to prepare a little narrative of our trip for 
the Smithsonian annual report, and for that I need some black and white 
pictures sjch as you took of us, 
Ifr. Bredin and lir. May were down last Wednesday over the lunch 
period* and they still are very enthusiastic about their experiences as 
are we all, Thei‘e is nothing like a FREELANCE cruise with Desmond . 
Nicholson. Please give my very bestito your father and to Rodney and 
his wife. I do hope that our paths will soon cross again. If I do not 
get south, let's hope that one or' another of you will soon get north, 
Tou should see the States, and here in Washington we have a lot to show 
you too.- -'-f- ^ ■

Good luck to you, and before long I shall be writing you folks soon 
again. • . ;

P,S, Perhaps you -would rather send me prints of the' negatives pertain- 
ing to our work on attd 'Off the FREELANCE, If so, I will be only 
too glad to psQr for any prints that you may have made for us. In 
that way you would not be risking “your negatives and we could then 
Indicate those of 'sdiidti we wished further copies.
