I will either send it to your bank or send you a draft to take care of it. 
Maybe you should sponsor the beer bust and use the dregs to catch the 
guinea fowl. 
We had a very distressing and unhappy happening here. We moved three 
wildebeest that had been born here to a farm owned by Mrs. Tankersley 
(a very wealthy lady) about 35 miles from here. Unfortunately, we lost 
all three of them from heat and shock. I have been investigating the 
facts of what happened, and every conceivable mistake was made. I am 
ashamed to say that it seemed like some of the worst animal handling 
that you and I have talked about in Africa. The animals were not trained 
to the crate properly, were roughed up, were not given enough air, and 
so on inte the night. This has caused me a good deal of distress, and as 
you can imagine there will be some personnel changes made. I am 
looking for a good hecfed-stock man, a college educated man, I hope with 
experience with domestic animals whom we can train to manage animals 
correctly, since my head keeper seems to be incapable of responding to 
new and different methods. This, of course, does not concern you 
except that I shall have to stay here for a few months. I hope this means 
that you will have a whole trap full of bongos, since I am going to have 
to stay fairly close to home. 
I have just now been able to reach John Robbins, our contact at WETA, 
Educational Television. He say Dr. John Hunter is program director 
and Alan Bowers is the traffic manager. Our man, Robbins, is having 
lunch today with Dr. Hunter, and will bring up the information I have 
given him about John Seago and Derek Monk. 
With best regards, and wishing you lots of luck, 
Sincerely yours, 
Theodore H. Reed, D.V.M.
