Dear Folks : 
I am so sorry that we missed you in Kampala or was it Entebbe? 
I do not this manent have your kind note before me. I take it you 
came through your whole safari in the best cf health. We had ota* 
ups and downs but now everybody is feeling tip-top including Dr. 
Baker, who at one time was the hardest hit of the four of us. If 
I had the opportunity I think I’d go back to Africa toraarrow to 
see the places I failed to get to this first time around, I think 
it*s a marvelous part of the world and there is yet so much to be 
learned about it. 
At this time it»s not possible to tell you how our movies 
turned out. ftuite a number of the rolls of film have failed to 
cone through on time but the last word last week was that the 
balance of our film was on its way tome. Did you have good luck 
seeing the wild life in Euindi Park and did you by any chance see 
scane lions? We didn’t get a shot at om the whole time we were 
in the Congo. 
There is one trip that I would not have missed for the world 
and that was our leisurely Journey down the Kile by steamer — two 
of the most restful weeks I ever spent anywhere, in a ccaafortable, 
airy cabin with table service as good as anywhere in the whole 
dark continent. 
S<xiie time tdien you come to Washingt>on don’t fail to look me 
up. I m here in the National Musetmi at 10th and Constitution 
Avenue, best good wishes to you and yours. 
Sincerely yours.
