Dear Mr. Bredos 
^closed is a letter addressed to M, Hataene 
which is largely self explanatory. * 
We write to enlist yonr cooperation in the 
objectives of the Smithsonian-Bredin Expedition. 
Ins^iuch as it is concerned largely with the 
®Daaller anii^al life of the region, we hope that 
there will be difficulty with either permission 
to travel through the Congo or to make the desired 
collecting. 
The Smithsonian Institution will be most 
grateful to you for any assistance that you and 
other Belgian officials may be able to render 
this expedition. 
Cordially yours
