Dear* Miss McCain: 
* m m 
Sexton has tried to make himself the great I Am. Is first out 
of the car, introduces himself and the rest of the oarty; 
latelT, since I counte'^ed him on a few things, he's introduced 
me as the leader of the oarty, if 1 haooened to be near 
enourh at hand. T don't mind much: I'm the only one with a 
visit:?ny ca**d, and in each case at Park or for soecial favor, 
Ganmala, the le^-ter to man in charge is specifically about me 
and coijrtosies I am to receive. The Belgians are no fools; 
a'f'ter rea^inst letter and hearing him, they surely aooreciate 
who's mrho . Also, I don't hear everything, and he's gotten a 
little oatronixing about setting me straight. It's a little 
hard to take, but I do it and thank him. It could be done in 
ni'^er f'ashlon, but I do have to keen oeace in the family. 
That is why I am not telling him off, and why I want to ring 
in the Geogranhdc Society to out a snoke in his wheel. 
Baker is doing good work on the mite collecting. He had 
a flu cold, the very worst case of loose bowels, and now, noor 
devil, a stye on his eye, which Sexton will ooen, or has already 
ooened . 
The real difficulty with Sexton will come when he finds 
out he's not going to run the film or oictures (that is, if Dr. 
Carmichael comes through as I hone). Sexton says Buddy can do 
the titles at Walter Reed; he (Sexton) can oay for a lot of the 
nutting of f'ilm and sound together, and will, if he gets control 
of ^i Im . I'd rather have a less exoensive, or oolished ,iob 
than to have him walk away with what, after all, will be the 
fruits of the exnedition. I hone I'll get the needed suonort 
from fpe S.I. '^hen Sexton begins to throw his weight around. 
T had trouble getting him to consent to out S.I. on return 
address of Kodachrome film which goes to Eastman for develoning. 
He wanted it all "examinppd" bv his Palis Church friends. I think 
he'd like them to hold it until he gets back. I consented for 
the Leo. and Stanlevville lots because he said he wanted to 
check exoosu*^es and camera (lens and shutter) nerformance. 
It was a reasonable request, but since then there has been no 
noint to it. Hone he's done as nromised. I can't check every 
item/ Buddv wrans uo for transmittal to the Consul for diplo- 
matic nouch. It would be too much of an Insult to them, and 
would wreck things hers and now. 
If vou can heln Ginny keen an eye on the film, I wish you 
would. I am enclosing some notes, culled from my rather meager 
diary, on what I think I said to her in various letters. If 
the film doesn't seem to be coming through from Porter Studios, 
see if vou can check with the nouch neonle if they have any 
record, and then keen a record of any conversations you or 
Ginnv have with the Po/rter outfit.
