Please quote us the cost of the 30 day and also the k$ day tour, 
Matadi to Bukavu, as set forth in the itinerary herewith, with cost of 
flight from Leopoldville to Stanleyville as a separate item per passenger, 
as one member of our party will have a Sabena round trip, N.T. to N.T. 
(likewise the Bukavu- Juba flight). The specifications regarding travel, 
accommodations, meals, and ocean travel I assume would be as set forth 
in the original AAA itinerary. That "Contract” form is enclosed. It 
tells us '.rhat to expect and what not. What rebate will there be if one 
member of our party drops out after 1 , 2 , 3, h, or 5 week3? Were you 
included in the h$ Congo days of the itinerary the AAA first furnished 
us? We sincerely hope that we can have you with us from the time we 
land in Stanleyville. 
This letter may be forwarded to you by the AAA and may include some 
further statement from than. I do not know as this letter is being 
written on a week-end and will not reach their office here in Washington 
until Monday morning. Time is getting shorter by the day and we do not 
want to be too late with all cur wants, therefore a favorable reply, 
including quotations, at your early convenience would be most keenly 
appreciated. 
Here's to seeing you next April! 
Sincere!
