Dear Boy* 
Thank you for your letter of January U. 1 shall be at 
the Club at 6.30 or a bit before with the film. I an sorry 
that you are going to the trouble of having s dinner, as you 
say, in my honor. It is not at all necessary, but it is good 
of you. Ups. Schmitt will be with m and is looking forward 
to Mrs. Sexton *s phone call. 
I have talked to the young men at the Sational Geographic 
Society who put the film together and who will run the tape 
and who are experienced projectionists. Their standard charge, 
as you know from past Explorers Club experience,, is 015 lor 
the night regardless, so we might as well let them do both. 
The very next night I have to put on a show at the Smithsonian 
Regents annual meeting and they will be taking film home with 
them, and so they sight as well handle it throughout with no 
disrespect to you or Buddy. I do not suppose that there will 
be my hesitation on the Club's part in letting them use that 
wonderful new projector of which you speak. 
I hope that my presentation will be up to your anticipa- 
tion. It should be interesting to those of ue who were on 
the expedition. 
Two people I would appreciate having invited to see the 
film ere Mr. Carl F. Turvey and Mr. Harold E. Mingo of Ifotion 
Picture Laboratory, !I, S. Department of Agriculture, who 
arranged the few local sequences which open and close* the 
film. Both ere married men. 
Sincerely,
