Dear Emmanel s 
You made me very happy w^h your letter of July 26. ^t is nice to 
be remembered. I have riot -forgotten the fine service that yoij|?endered 
me and the beautiful mammal skins that you prepared for our Museum. 
I thought that you had forgotten to give 'me the little note book 
you kept of the measurements of the specimens so I wrote Dr. van den Ber^ 
the very nexr^day ttet ^r mammalogist found it packed with the skins. Vow 
very O-MypTwl cx\?qn/T '('Tt 
^As you know I would enjoy having you here to work for us in the 
Museum but such an arrangement at this tirae would be 
difficult because 
y 
as a result of the second world war we cannot employ people in our Museum 
who are not citizens of the United State^and even so our funds are much 
more limited than they are at Lwiro Station. This limits our 
ycry "tCk/* 
staff to.igge^ peopleg^>^g33>fee^3^itS^«iS^ Please rest assured that if 
yo- kere, 
it were possible. I would endeavor to find you a place 
'iWiL-ooma !■ 
It goes without saying also that I would love to revisit the Belgian 
Congo. I like the country, the climate, and the J>eople, 
to you 
hank you again for your letter 
Sincerely, 
best good wishes
