Dean Dr. Schmitt, 
I have just received your letter dated April 9tli in 
Leopoldville . 
Although I have been in contact, by letter, with 
Dr. van den Berghe of IRSAC, regarding your stay there, I have not, 
in any way, been informed that you would have at your disposal one of 
his men. 
Hie car and truck left Bukavu this morning and I just 
managed to instruct my representative, Mr. Dick, to call at IRSAC 
and inquire if the man had yet left? if not, lie sh all be taken in the 
truck and you will thus have him when you arrive in Stanleyville . 
I sincerely hope that the rest of your luggage will 
reach Stanleyville, on the 20th. 
For your information, IHEAC-Yangambi will meet you in 
Stanleyville and take you to Yangambi . While there, my representative 
Mr. Dick, will remain in Stanleyville and can thus do ’whatever 
possible toget the remaining part of your luggage. 
I have just received also a letter from the gentleman 
in charge of the Gangala na Bodio station. He informs me that besides 
what has been done for you by Mr. Van Straelen, you will have to get 
a special permit from the Governor General, in Leopoldville. No doubt 
you can obtain this through the American Consul. 
Trusting that ell will be in order, and looking forward 
to meeting you. 
Sincerely yours,
