Instructions for the handling of film of Sinitteonian Belgian Congo Expedition 
(Excerpts frtMTi letters from Dr. V»ldo L. Sohraitt, Party Leader) 
Letter of April 7, 1955. Aboard plane from Brussels to I^eopoldvllle. 
“Bow to get down to a few brass tacks. You will be receiving 
addressed to me sane movie film that should be forwarded to Eastman 
for developing? readdress it; under no circumstances open itj if in 
doubt where to send it (Eastman Process Lab in Hew York) consult 
Tony. It’s film taken here at Belgian Mus. of van Straelen, Baker and 
myself of the initiation and departure of the Expedition from the Brussels 
airport, including a discussion of plana, over the Congo map at the Museum 
before-hand. Also do not examine it after return from Eastman. I’m 
afraid something might happen to it, and it is a part of the master film 
frcHT. which all prints are to be made. Likewise tlie 35 mm, still camera 
film, X mailed Eastman (K.Y.) frcas Brussels today. It will be better to 
l6t all film we niail back for developing go till get back and Dr. 
Sexton can have a first look at itj so much depends on perfect ui’Marred 
film in making up ifie copies for lecture and projection purposes. I*ve 
also sent home some odds and ends of stuff, I‘ye picked up in Europe? 
tiiat too can be held till I can iiave a first look at it.’*
