, that 4¢ we cannot get @... Germany soon, what wour the program on 
‘vFinging it across to Kenya and have you carry it through with the rest of 
the animals. 
The little white-eyes and the terns continue to do well. I really get a kick 
out of the white-eyes; they are great little animals. We'll be happy to 
receive the other birds as soon as you are ready to ship them. 
I hope that you, Thelma, and the kids realize what a wonderful life you are 
leading out there. I know that it has its difficulties, frustrations, 
anxieties, and all the rest of the things, but I think itis a good deal more 
simple than the life here in Washington. We seem to be getting more and 
more complicated and more and more involved, and frankly I am not sure 
that we are doing as much or doing it as well as we did in years gone by. 
The curse of civilization, I euess. 1 know that the moon shot and the 
landing of men on the moon was a great technical achievement andi am sure 
that we are proud to have been alive when that happened; however, there 
are a number of things that could be done here on earth. Perhaps it's 
easier to make machines that can do things than it is to persuade men to 
cooperate and help do things tegether. Now that 1 am getting philosophical, 
I'd better quit. 
Kindest regards to each and every one of you. 
Sincerely yours, 
Theedore H. Reed, D.V.M.
