Dear Ted, 
The Bongo is doing well now and is A 
already very friendly to all the men, whereas at 
first he was choosy and only talked to his old friends 
of the mountain camp. 
I hope that the flight arrangements for 
the birds were satisfactory from your point of view. 
- It was the best arrival time of all the various flights 
we could get from here. We took care to get confirmation 
throughout that there would be no delays, and then you 
confirmed the arrangement for clearing customs at New 
York, so all should go smoothly. 
| I am sorry that it is such a small parcel 
but our attentions have still been focussed on the Bongo 
Pee, but now we can tackle the birds more seriously as 
the camp staff are getting along well. I think also that 
it is as well to try out a route with a few birds anyway. 
We dont want_a repetition of the Pittsburgh birds. 
last trip.as he had hurt his feet, got them chafed from 
\walking too far in rubber boots. He will return on 
Friday, It had rained heavily all round the mountain 
/. from the end of last week so I found everything very wet 
and slippery. The men said that the Bongos had now moved 
over to our side again. So far no more news that Alan 
Root's men have caught anything more.
