Bear Mr. Rideout: 
Pardon this belated .acknowledginont of your 
kindness in having that reel of fills exposed 
arc developed for me. It has reassured nr as 
to the condition of the flip, that I carried to 
Africa and Lose again. 
Incidentally, yoo will be interested to 
know that I have rather successfully disposed 
of practically all the surplus film that m 
had. 
All thanks to you for your halo. 
Sincerely,
