the border you remarked that you had taken care of everything that the

send him to reassure him of this fact. The papers that were given me at the 
Kakituraba Cue tons must be in the carton With the uneacposed film coming from 
Cairo, As I recall it, 1 got between 7,000 and 9,000 francs back from jjy 
12,000 franc deposit at Stanleyville. As you will recall, the Customs man 
at Kakituraba lifted all the transit documents I had with me for return to 
Leopoldville. How good is your memory? I would like to have the film

other statement would present the picture better.
