Dear Mr. Christensen: 
The cartons that we left with you for surface 
shipment have arrived safely and again my thanks to 
you for taking care of the matter for us. 
Bob Yost, American Consul at Leopoldville iidiom 
I got to know quite well, feels that he may be stationed 
in Washington beginning in October for the usual tour 
of duty at the State Department so if you yourselves 
are able to get back within the next year or two we can 
have a nice get-together. 
Who was the young man whom we met in your office 
who was headed up the Kile? I would like to have his 
name and address and sane word of his success in the 
photographic line. The National Geogr^hic Society is 
looking over our motion picture film this next week or 
two and until then I will be unable to tell you what 
luck we had. ^ interest in the young man is for 
pictures t3;»t he may have gotten of the mtives along 
the river banks. We didn’t get ashore for piiotographing 
them close up and I hope he may have had opportunities 
timt were not vouchsafed us. 
Hy best to you and the folks at the Ehbassy wiw? 
were so kind and Iwslpful to us. 
Sincejrely, 
Waldo L. Schmitt 
Head Curator 
Department of Zoology
