a bite would only cause rae some inconvenience, but mg' failure to see 
Mr, Vanhee at Usumbura embarrassed, and made trouble for you and 
others, the last thing in the world that I wanted to happen. I*m 
still more than grateful to you for all you did for us,

I never did get all the shrimps and crabs I»d set my heajrt on, 
but I got a nice collection of mammals, a better one of fishes, in 
part fran Lakes Edward, Albert, and Tanganyka and the lava samples 
in which our geological department was so interested. But Baker’s 
success with the mites, as tiny as th^ are, more than offsets the 
lack of quantity in my collections. 
It was, all said and done, a memorable expedition, fhank you 
again! My good wishes and the best of good luck to you and yours, 
the itobert losts, and others at the Consulate and the American Club. 
Sincerely
