Dear Dr. SCHMITT, 
Your letter of March the 9th with enclosures to hand. ’> , 
By same mail, I also received a letter from the A. A. A. 
by which they forwarded a final itinerary. No doubt you have received 
same. 
* 
You will of course note that this final itinerary does 
not concur with what you write in your letter referred to above . 
I have therefore drawn up the final itinerary which embodies both 
your suggestions and those of the A. A. A. 
I have now taken all steps in accordance with this 
itinerary for reservations of hotels, tribal dances etc. ; I have 
also wit tan to the various Institutions such as INEAC and IRSAC 
giving them definite dates for your visits in Yangambi , Gangala na 
Bodio, Lvd.ro , Uvira and Astrida. 
You need not worry about accomodations in these various 
outposts as, from experience , I know they are always glad to have as 
guests any scientific people who visit the Congo. 
Regarding heavy gear and equipment, you will have at 
your disposal & one ton truck which will easily be able to carry 
al 1 your equipment throughout the journey thus avoiding your being 
without part of this equipment at any given time. 
Looking forward to meeting you in the near future, 
Sincerply Yours, 
E.P. THORNTON-DAILLY
