Dear Boys 
Thank you for your letter of January Is. I shall be at 
the Club at 6.30 or a bit before with the film. I am sorry 
that you are going to the trouble of having a dinner, as you 
say, in ay honor. It is not at all necessary, bat it is good 
of you. Mrs. Schmitt will be with am arid is looking forward 
to Mrs « Sexton’s phone sail. 
I have talked to the young mm at the Rational 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 $1$ for 
the night regardless, so we sight as well let the® do both. 
The very next night 1 have to put on a show at the Saithsoniaa 
Regents annual seating and they will be taking film hose with 
the*, and so they sight as well handle it throughout with no 
disrespect to you or Buddy. I do not suppose that there will 
be ary hesitation on the Club * s part in letting the® use that 
wonderful new projector of which you speak. 
1 hope that jay presentation will be up to your anticipa- 
tion. It should bs interesting to those of us who were on 
the expedition. 
Two people I would appreciate having invited to see the 
fils:, are Mr. Carl F. Turvsy and Hr. Harold E. Mingo of Motion 
Picture Laboratory, 0. S. Department of Agriculture, who 
arranged tha few local sequences which ©pen and close the 
fil«. Both ere married men . 
Sincerely,
