I shall have to leave that to Thornton, Isangi beyond Xangambi, and Paulis (the 
later perhaps too civilized these days, but a great center for Mangbeta). Paulis 
is perhaps too far out of the way unless we took the train frora Buta to Paulis 
and miss all of the highway between Buta and Miangara. k lot depends on the 
country j if its for miles the type that we encounter at each end we wouldn't 
Kiss much in the xray of aiirnal life and thus, if the train ran on the right day 
save some time to put in else-where, (all this only however if autos are taken 
from place to place and not for the entire trip). I'll know laore and better next 
time^ and this tirae siiall leave it to Thornton. I should mt here be telling you 
it^r troubles^ it viill be tirae eirjugh when I see you. 
You can well imagine with liow mch anticipation we have at visiting the 
Congo for the first time. All of our curators whatever you can bring back 
will be valu^le, we have so little in "Uie National Museora from Africa, With 
the American Museum too- its quite dil'ferent, but doesn't it taice you back to 
your first trip to Africa? Thank you agaa.n for your good letters, they helped 
no end. Here's to seeing you before too long. 
Sincerely,
