Leopoldville, Belgian Congo 
Dear Mr. McGregor: 
lour letter of July 12 was received this after- 
noon, and I hasten to acknowledge it in the same 
envelope with the letter responding to your Foreign 
Service Despatch of July lli. 
It is good news that you have the film that was 
left with Thornton at Bukavu. It was beginning to 
look as though it had been lost. Do you raneraber the 
lot we sent you for the pouch from Stanleyville the 
last week in April? It did not get to the Museum 
until June 5l 
This Thornton film must have been, for the 
greater part at least, film brought in at Stanley- 
ville. As Sexton handled the photographic end of 
things, his son keeping the film records, I shall 
consult him forthwith about it and report back to 
you in the next day or two. 
Sincerely, 
Waldo L. Schmitt 
Head Curator 
Department of Zoology
