Dear Mann, 
Since writing the attached letter yesterday I have seen 
Friedmann who telle me that you nope to -go on the expedition and 
presumable bring the keeper. X conclude that the trip vili be on 
the | 3O,$0>$ or 25,000 basis then. Perhaps you had better read 
the earlier letter first and then return to this one. 
I have been so cluttered up with work that I was unable 
to type out the letter to Swynne r ton etc. part of which l drafted 
yesterday but am tackling them all this afternoon at home and 
will take them to the post as soon as I finish this letter. 
My Game Regulations have been lent to the Paine's (I do 
not know if that is the correct rendering of their name) and 1 
will write you in a few days if they want a letter to the Game 
Warden, Kenya to try and get the young r rhino there. In the 
absence of the regulations I cannot quote chapter and verse for 
the permits but it is hardly necessary. •

In the suggestions for a letter to Sir Donald Cameron 
I have otSnitted to ask for reduced freights on the railway as I 
thought we are already asking a good deal and don't wish to get 
their official backs up by being too greedy. However do as you 
think beat about it, freights are very heavy but if you take a 
whole van and load it yourself it is not nearly so fierce. 
It seems to me that we w&nt to get our beasts as near 
the railway as po »aible, an obstinate young giraffe is an almost 
impossible thing to get- along I heard from someone else who had 
the experience near Arusha. Giraffe .are abundant near Mkata Stn. 
and if we van locate a young one there should not be any great 
difficulty in getting it. Horses could not be used on account ox 
tsetse out the animals might be surrounded by- a big lot of natives 
I should think. Rhino can best be obtained in the Arusha or 
Itkalama Districts. Elephant depend entirely on the co-operation of 
Game Dept. It is highly improbable that settlers would have such a 
tiling for sale and I will not buoy up your hopes by saying that four

money at your disposal I think you will get an 
enormous amount of stuff but to specify what kinds is rather futile 
as it ia so largely a matter of chance what one comes across. I 
nave already sent you a list of what I think we would get in the 
•all mc/imttl line* I do wish we could meet and discuss things but 
it would bo out of tho question for me to make Washington for the 
present, I wish you could corue hers* If you would like me to plan 
out an itinerary I will gladly do so but should like to know 
approximately when you expect to go so as to work it according to 
the reins. As aeon as the Game Ordinance is returned I will mail 
it on. 
I*m sure that I have forgotten much that I want to say
