^ frvtn you is data along these lines s Mien we crossed 
th® border you remarked that you had taken care of everything that the 
American Consul in Leopoldville was held responsible for and that he would 
be in the clear. What I want is a few figures that the Smithsonian can 
send nixn to reassure him of this fact. The papers that were given me at the 
Sekivumba Customs mm% be in the carton with the unexposed film coming from 
Cairo. As I recall it, I got between 7,000 and 9,000 francs back from *v 
* 2°!L fr#ao deposit at Stanleyville. As you will recall, the Customs man 
at Kaki tumba lifted all the transit documents I had with me for return to 
Leopoldville. How good is your memory? I would like to have the fils 
figures at year early convenience, along these lines, unless yo think some 
other statement would present the picture better* 
1. ril:a brought into Leopoldville (air shipment ) for which Hr. McGregor 
took responsibility and put up guarantee? 
2. Film sent out by pouch from Leopoldville? 
3. Film sent down from Stanleyville for return to States via pouch from 
Leopoldville » 
k* Film declared by us at Stanleyville t 
5. Film exposed subsequent to Stanleyville and acknowledged at Kakitumha: 
6. Film not exposed taken < ut of Kakltuirba, 
Total fxlMjr 
hinus exposed film, 2*3+h * film (in transit) taken out at Kakitumba. 
On® further question, do you recall how much the sum was that Thornton 
told the Customs man to have on hand at Kakitumba for possible refund to us? 
1 asked you above if you recalled the amount of the refund. Sorry I 
did not lug all the papers with .me instead of shipping some of them.
