Dear Ted: 
I rt ; : r tter of 
Thank you very much for your le : 
June 19th which arrived just in time for Tony to 
read before he returned to the camp. 
Tony is anxious to bring this first Bongo 
down as soon as possible so that we clear the 
trap area, as it were, and are able to remove the 
top camp. We feel that there is a certain amount 
of disturbance caused by the men living up there 
and therefore requiring more service attention 
thanvis required for checking the traps and we wish 
to minimise the disturbance as much as possible. 
I think the idea is we bring the animal down next 
week which will have allowed some ten days to 
get used to its travelling box. 
Tony plans to return tomorrow and then we 
can write again about the latest plans to keep 
you in the picture. 
As this has proved a longer and more expensiv 
operation than we had expected and I am short of 
cash it would be of great help if you could trans- 
fer $5000 to the Chartered Bank —- my account 
No. 2204752, Rockefeller Center Branch, 10 West 
49th Street, New York, N.Y. 10020. 
I do hope you managed the budget presentation 
in the end successfully and that you were not | 
carried away in the middle of your speech and 
addressed the Congress on the excitements of 
catching bongos on the Aberdare mountains. 
With very best wishes from us all here, 
Yours sincerely, 
John Seago
