tiSienever you feel ready to make a f ir^ deposit we shall set up 
a anithsonian-Bredin Eaqjeditionary Fund in the Institution’s disbursing 
office, I be communicating with you .just as soon as I have perti- 
nent inforaation to pass along. 
I think you have picked a good time of the year and it should con- 
tribute to the success of the expedition. All good wishes to you and 
yours . 
Sincerely , 
Waldo L. Schmitt 
Head Curator 
WLSjLMc Depsrtment of Zoology 
P.S. I would like to personally present you to the Secretary. 
Should you wish to come down to make an initial contribution to the 
Smithsonian-Bredin ej^edition fund, a little advance notice would be 
helpful. Dr. Carmichael will be in town through the 9th of November, 
after which he has to fulfill several speaking engaganents and will be 
away until later in the month. 
We shall certainly be able to show you the Congo highlights and 
at the same time make some really worthwhile scientific collections.
