fmr two prerioas letters to ae .regarding charges against 
ae or the esqsedition which I headed to the Belgian Congo, were 
tamed over to the local International travel Office of the 
A.A.A., 1712 0 Street, M. M. Mr, Jmm H. Cowan is the aanager 
of our If^aahlngton branch, I have no doubt but idjat they are 
looking into the matter but I regret that you bar# bad no 
acknowledgment fr^ then: covering the receipt of your eorrespou- 
dence. 
I am sorry that the matter is so long delayed but I fear 
that it is quite an involved affair. Oar autc»aobile travel 
and lodgings In Africa were all handled by a Mr. Eric Thornton. 
Transports tlon througiiout the trip was purcSaased throu^ Sabena 
Air Lines in Washington, I do not know just stoere matters 
might be stalled but that an explanation will soon be 
fortheosing. 
Kay I ask here a personal question? lour name stirs 
meuKtries for it is that of a former American Cionsul in Chile 
wiu> wrote a racier interestii^ article about Juan Fernandes, 
the Bobinson Crusoe Island in the Pacific. I, too, visited 
the sane place and had some eorrespondcmce with !^. Haberle 
about copies of some of his photograi^s. ^fore ha died I vaa not 
able to obtain thm and I do not know what became of hie effects. 
If you are his aon or related to hi® you may know. 
Witi: kindest regards. 
Sincerely
