Dear John, Tony, Thelma, Winniki, and Tiddles: 
I have your most welcomed letters of June 16 and 24, 
We have notified the Smithsonian to transfer $5,000 to your 
account in New York. We will notify you by wire when this 
has been done. It may take a few days longer than normal 
because this is the closing of the fiscal year. 
i agree that you should get the bongo out of the hills as 
soon as possible so you can get others into the trap. I will 
plan to come for the second journey from the hills. Ask Tony 
to get as many pictures as possible. He can send the film to 
us for developing or keep them as he sees fit. If the National 
Geographic uses any of the film taken by Tony he will be given 
credit for them and receive pay although the pya will not be 
a large sum. Please inform me when the animal is brought to 
Wairoki just because I am interested in it. | 
I phened Skunk Irving the other day. Apparently, he is being 
supplied by the Hunt Brothers with zebra, and I gather, some 
shipments are coming from Southwest Africa, probably Walter 
Schultz, 
The Eland project seems to be moving rather slowly. They are 
requesting some young elands from Roland Lindemann's herd. 
This will give them 2.3. As I told you before, they must import 
the animals from zoos in the United States’ that is, they must 
be born in the U. S. Apparently, the plan is to see how these 
9 work out, and if they do, they will try to get a larger number. 
This may mean that in 2 or 3 years we will be buying elands from 
you and will keep the here at the zoo for breeding. But we will 
talk about this next year.
