Lwiro (Katana), D. Sp. , Bukavu, Belgian Congo 
Dear Mr. Dereine* 
Did you ever get the letter of inquiry fro& our Chief 
of Publications, Mrs, Eileen M. McCarthy, who wrote you on 
August 2? She called me a few days fi^o to say that she 
had received no instructions from you regarding the 600 
pound shipment of books we wanted to make to Hatadi for 
your Recherche Institut at Lwiro, Do write her something 
and then she will start the books on their way. cannot 
just address them to Matadi, c/o IRSAC, without^ having 
some further word from you or from Dr. Van den Berghe. 
I think it would be well if you could send her a label or 
two to affix to the shipment so that authorities in the 
Belgian Congo will recognize it at once. 
¥e are having some veiy beautiful and especially warm 
fall weather. The bright sunny days remind me of the 
several days I had at Lwiro, I wish I were there now. 
With kindest regards. 
Sincerely, 
kialdo L. Schmitt
