of two c&rs bat without a hard and fast itinerary. Thus we could go where 
we wished, even to the places suggested, and stay as long as we like 
(within tije overall tiBie liisit). Eegardij-ig tlie ocean vcyage, so far as I 
Imve been able to learn there would be no great saving of ttoe in flying 
to london and taking a freighter south Srtm tiiere. The time requii’ed would 
about equal tl.e twt? weeks that It would take to get to Matadi direct witli 
Belgian fireighter froK hev York. It looks as though we might just as well 
stay with the liielgian line reservations. 
Do let »e know wiasn you will again be free to cane to l^shington. I 
want to bring you, Ir. S-exton, and Tr. Witarton togetrier. Perhaps this next 
i^ek, whicn includes Thanksgiving Day, is t«>o soon, kbat about the week 
of the 29th, Thursday, Dec. 2? It looks goc^ from this end. We could have 
lunch at the Club and then Isave about an hour to see some of Sexton's motion 
pictures before you would have to leave for the 3 o'clock train. 
Is the .tourney down the Mile by boat (train arcund the Cataracts) 
longer than you e3q>ected? It would certainly be a rewarding end and 
deserved rest to what may prove to be a busy nonth or six weeks in the 
Congo, kith 3Utoii!obiles at your service by the laonth and by the week, 
after the first thirty digrs the expedition would ; stain in its hands the 
flexibility and maneuverability that you probably prefer. 
I have to go to Kiasi for an all day conference Saturday but shall be 
back on the job Monday morning, 
Hope you had a grand time in Havana, 
fiegards to you all. 
Sincerely yours.
