Dear Dr Schmitt, 
Your telegram informing me that 'the film had not yet 
arrived greatly astonished me, I was away when your telegram reached here 
hence the delay in replying. 
You experienced plenty of trouble when enterring the Congo 
with this film and as was to be expected I experienced quite a lot in 
trying to send it back to you. 
As I held no document to prove that you were entitled to 
use these films in the Congo, the customs wanted me to lay down the 
export duties. After a number of arguments I finally decided the best way 
to avoid any further trouble or expenses, was "to hand the parcels to the 
American Consul in Leopoldville, so that he could dispatch same in similar 
fashion than he had already done with part of your films.

Trusting that the last part of the journey was all right 
and that you. returned home fully satisfied with the results 01 you 
journey. 
Very sincerely yours.
